Beware of Ratech install kits Paid $90 for a 
Ratech ring and pinion install kit(for GM 10 bolt) @ Thunder Racing. Had Pyle Brothers Differential do the install. 
UH OH, they packaged the wrong size outer pinion bearing (race was the right size), and 2 days after the install the pinion seal had to be changed out.
A word to the wise; check this kit out if you are a D I Y'er.

Re: Beware of Ratech install kits Update: I called Ratech to complain. Was told that they would need all the part numbers of the parts that was in the kit.Hummmmmmm..........I told them that would be hard to get beings all the right parts are installed. Here is their reply; we can't help you then, "clunk" they hung up the phone. 
So much for customer service...

It's a catch 22...
