Yea, save it at least for a 3.8L, IMHO. I had a '95 3.4L too...

Those are transmission codes. Try these (axle codes start with a G): http://www.rpocodes.com/gmrpocodesGthroughM.html

Yes I know but I've done work to my car that I dont want to have to redo to another car. And I like my little 6er. Insurance is alot cheaper. So bolt ons and add ons it is lol. So seriously, which gears will give more torque but still maintain decent mpg's and top end?

I just found out that my car has factory 3.23 gears. So now I'm thinking I want 3.73 gears... Opinion?

I did the posi/disk swap in my car, its basically take old rear out, and bolt posi in. Except having custom brake lines made to the T so it screws into the factory location.
