All GT's had an 8.8, and they are a limited slip diff (Trac Lok).
Enjoy the new ride! You should have pictures ready because you will get slammed with pic requests.
Enjoy the new ride! <---- x1
will get some pics up this weekend? She needs some work but it's a new toy. I had a V6 once but had a bad run in with a mac truck so now I wanted to try out the 5.0

But its the same thing. And I doubt any local places would have it.
Its not that hard to do, but its pretty damn messy. i did my gears and trac lok rebuild this weekend and i did the trac lok in like 20 minutes. Thats just getting it setup, not taking it out and putting it back in. lol
Yeah I want to do gears at the same time. Just trying to decide the ratio but I am pretty set on 3.73.
regarding the gears:
The norm is 4.10 for auto tranny and 3.73 for manual
FWIW, I've heard of people putting 3.73s in their car...and then saying that they should have gone 4.10s
Everyone that I've heard of that put 4.10s in...couldn't be happier.
me, I have 3.73s and love em, I'd like to try a set of 4.10s...but I think I found the point where enough is enough (basically I'm too lazy to switch them out)
good luck in whatever you choose

Until I move I have about an 80 mile round trip drive to work each day, How much difference between stock and 4.10 mpg and the diff between 4.10 and 3.73
I just put in my 3.73's and Im pretty sure that 4.10's would be way too much on the interstate for me.

Interesting, since it seems according to some people that its not so bad to put in some new clutch packs then I think me doing it will be somewhere in my future.
Hardest part is getting the differential out. Which just consists of taking the cover off, and taking the two c-clips out so the axles come out. Getting that damn spring back in is the hardest part.

Wished I had gone 4.10s. 
I have a 20mile hwy + some urban driving to get to work. If the speed limit is 65mph or lower on your commute do not fear the 4.10s.
Could force you to obey the speed limit.
When the hwy speeds get >75mph then 4.10s could be a touch too much.
