i had my heart set on doin 3.42s but now i think i'm just gonna go straight for the 3.73's!
my question is, what is the best way to do this since i currently have 2.73s and what i understand to be a 2 series carrier. can i buy 3.73s made for a 2 series or do i need to buy the gears and a 3 series carrier?
i've never been clear on how this works.
also, if anyone is from the central ohio area, do you know of a good shop to have this installed at?

 

Yes, you can buy 3 series gears for a 2 series carrier.

 

You can either buy 2 series gears, or buy 3 series gears and a SLP takeout 3 series posi for 99 bux.

 

thank you. is there any advantage to having a 3series carrier over a 2-series?

 

when ever you order your gears just make sure that you tell them that you got a 2 series carrier so they dont give you the wrong ones btw 3.73 are a very nice gear youll be happier with them than the 3.42's

 

I don't think there is an advantage for the 3 series carrier over the 2, but i am not positive.

 

hopefully someone who knows more about this will let me know cause i'll probably order the gears tomorrow

 

what more is there that you want to know?

 

just whether or not there is any advantages to the 2 or 3 series carriers...is one stronger than the other? why did GM put the 2 series in the 3.08 and lower ratio rear ends?
