Go with an Eaton or Auburn Pro differential the stock G80 is about the only weak point.

I don't know the part number but you need an 8.5, 10 bolt, 30 spline.

Also a T/A performance Girdle wouldn't hurt, and I put heavier Timken bearings, that have stronger steel sleeves on mine, cost $180 just for the new 4 bearings.
