Rear end going out
The third member on the 9 inch 3.50 gear rear end is going out on me. Making a terrible death like moan even at lower speeds now, with a rattling bearings in the third member that sound like a chain dangling on the road with some high pitched sounds with it. I have located the third member for the truck with the right gear ratio (not easy to find by the way), and also a steering gear box with steering column and pittman arm for a conversion to true power steering while I am biting the bullit and paying for this.
My question is, can I expect much difference in performance with the new rear end, or will there be no noticable difference?

Less noise?
If you're swapping like for like then performance will be the same.
Steeper gears would net a "peppier" acceleration at the cost of highway enjoyment.
Higher gears are awesome for the highway, but really suck for towing or stop-light to stop-light.
