Why are you replacing the entire diff due to a broken spider gear? Do you have an lsd or open rear diff? If its open, buy an aussie locker for $300 and put that in, it replaces all the spider gears. If you have an lsd, you will have to find an open carrier, and then you will need your gears reset (I beleive) if you put that in. A Super 35 will cost shitloads with the US dollar the way it is. The 30 spline Detroit on its own is about US$600.

Are you saying you can get a Chrysler 8.25 with a locker for $1300? What kind of locker? The Chrysler is a better diff than the 35, even if it is only the 27 spline version.
