    its something to think about then, if you can find an 8.4 housing pretty cheap do it, if not id just go with the same in the rear.

    its all about how much money you want to throw at it, cause hell you can use this as a reason to regear front and rear

    Get a new third and call it a day. You might be able to find a housing on http://www.car-part.com/ if you're hell bent on an 8.4

    The majority of broken 8" rears are because the ring gear cracked or lost teeth. Most aren't carrier or pinion or spider gear issues. The stock gears were flawed. Very few people have had issues with 8" rears and aftermarket gears like, Yukon or Nitro.

    Your issue, I would guess you snapped your pinion and I would guess this was due to a seized bearing, is an oddity and I wouldn't think a flaw or sign of weakness of the 8" rear end.
