Nice find Darrin 
....you are really gonna like the fuel mileage...but even with that Kumminz....you are gonna miss those 4.10's...
I have been reading up on the Stooper Doopy diff covers and after seeing your rear end...I want one too
....
{just to keep this thread "slightly" derailed towards the gutter}
BTW...don't the D60 and 10.25 Sterling use the same cover
....might need to get one for the front too!

Straight to the Sewer indeed, but KUDOS to you who brought it right back out!
Yes I did sell it, however once I get this new rear end installed I will be selling 4:10LS that is currently in my truck. Probably a week or so and it will be available. I'll let you know.
They are available on E-bay for about $55 plus $14 for shipping but it is stated that it is not for the 10.25,. just the 10.50. but he is wrong. $45.00 is a good price.
I am betting that this one would fit. If you want I can get you the measurements and let you know how much more it sticks out compared to the stock one. Let me know!
I have been wondering about that Geo, My thinking is that with the 3:55's I will be utilizing more of the monster Torque of the Cummins for a longer period of time during the acceleration, instead of revving quickly through the powerband and then shifting while shifting through the gears. It MAY be a quicker truck with the 3.55's. but I could be all wrong about that. Either way I do know that it will be a happy truck down the highway!
Well said..
This has been answered but they are different, I ordered a used one for a Dana 60 that is aluminum ribbed off Craigslist, I should be getting that in the next day or so.
BTW,..When the front gets done It is getting a Detroit Locker! I found one off of CL a couple of weeks ago for a DANA 60. It was $75.00 couldn't pass it up!
Later,..

Installed!
I painted it and wiped off the ribs with a lil WD-40 on a rag. I bought some Stainless Steel bolt and washers, filled it up with some Synthetic Gear lube with the Locker Additive. Also installed a new front pinion seal.
The brakes are real good on this rear end so I will leave that alone but will take the drums off my truck as they are new and rust free. I'll paint them up and install them when I do the swap.
Here are some pics,...

Are you going to change out the gears in the front to match? Otherwise you will be really ******* your transfer case.

Yup, as sated above, I have a Detroit Locker to go in front, and I already have the gears. I have to take the truck to a guys shop and he is going to swap the gears for me. Probably will be a few weeks till that happens.
