I have 2002 z28 with stock 2.73 i believe is a 2 series carrier. Is it possible to switch to a 3 series carrier??? I want to put 3.73 gears in.

yup if you have 2.73's then you have to switch to a 3 series carrier. 3.73's in an auto, that should be fun. :D

you CAN switch to a 3 series carrier, but you do not HAVE to. they make thicker 3 series gears for 2 series carriers, i know richmond makes them, but i dont know who else

are those thicker gears as reliable as changing the carrier?

I would just use the 3.73s for the 2-series carrier, a little cheaper and about the same strength.Originally posted by silversupersport
