      I dropped the axle from my '86 GMC pickup off at the shop yesterday .   
   It's going in for "major surgery" ... The stock 2.73:1/standard   
   differential gear set is being replaced with a set of 3.42's and a posi   
   locker . I have apparently ventured a bit farther into the "high   
   performance" realm than I meant to . Since I've got it tuned a bit   
   better I've been having problems starting from a dead stop without the   
   truck making screeching noises . I'm hoping the new stuff will improve   
   that situation ...   
      I'm also hoping the gas mileage improves . The motor build was   
   optimized for 3.42 gears , I should be in a more efficient RPM band with   
   the new gears . Which is also in the torque band , so my trans should   
   have to shift gears less often .   
      And as my neighbor told his wife when she asked what all this was for   
   "better burnouts!" .
