Oh, I am well too aware of what is needed. The biggest tool needed is what you mentioned.... "KNOW HOW TO READ THEM"...lol.
My last H2 I had a friend (who is a GM tech) install gears. I went through 5, YES, 5 sets of ring and pinions)
The towing company that tows for my bodyshop couldn't believe how many times I would call stranded on the side of the road because the rearend would lock down.
That was the cheap part.... one of those times when the frt gears locked down, it shattered from front diff.
Hurts just to think about it.
Ended up taking my gears to another friend who is also a GM tech. Did it once and it was fixed.
MAKE SURE THE PERSON KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING.... an incorrect installation of gears and you may have more than a whine (no pun intended)
