After you get it back, pull the rear end out and sell it as a "Brand new 3.42 rear end". You should be able to get a little more for it and swing a 12-bolt. Automatic guys like to swap over to 3.42's.

Damn you must have a nice dealership over by you, I know most dealerships would deny the warranty due to mods.
