It should be too difficult, the factory diff spacing should be the same as the truetrac. When you go to remove the diff pay as MUCH attention as you can to the shims on either side of the diff, they will fall out and roll away when you finally get the diff loose. You will need to place them back in the same exact side they fell out of to get the diff in the right position for the gears to mesh.
I did a bunch of zexel torsen diff swaps in s10s back when SLP was selling them for $99. 1 out of 3 trucks needed to be shimmed differently, but all the rest just took the stock shims and were setup perfect.
Ring gear bolts are reverse thread!! Remember that, it's easiest to put the diff in a vise and swap the ring gear there instead of on the ground. You can break the bolts loose while the diff is still in the rear.
Yup he's right if you are just putting in the locker its fairly easy

Well if I get the locker should I go ahead and get the 373 gears
Airaid, alpine double din,
well, you'll already have the axles/diff out of the truck, only thing left is removing the driveshaft, undoing the yoke nut and pulling the pinion gear.
But then setting up pinion depth is a whole nother story, that's where the professionals should step in. I always thought you could measure the pinion depth of the old to the new, but that's not exactly true.
PLUS, going from just changing the diff and having to get the gasket/fluid, now you'll have to pay $80-120 for a rear overhaul kit plus having to set up the pinion depth, crush sleeve / setup resistance of the pinion, etc. It's best to have a press to install the new bearings.. trust me, not for the shade tree.
Yeah nm would the factory gears b good ill end up swiching them later
Airaid, alpine double din,
factory gears will be fine, until you can upgrade, but if youre gonna have some one change out the pumpkin you might as well knock out the gears too.

The difference between winning and losing, is having a 2nd stage.
Do it all at once but if it's the 1st time do a lot of research or preferably get an experienced friend with tools.
