Default Sotck rear verification

The stock 02 Fbody (3.42:1) rear end is a 3 series carrier right?

Anything else I need to know before spending money on a new ring and pinion?

Thats right 3 series and ya need a new crush sleave for the pinion! The person that does the install tell them to make sure the pinion has 20 inch pounds preload before they slide the carrier back in and ya will be fine!

Thanks, I know about the crush sleeve, I've done a few on my own already (older Chevys) and I'll be setting this one up myself too. It's a PITA to do, but well worth the money you'll save.
