80-82 Rear End Change
So, all of us with the lousy "Batwing" designed aluminum rear end.
Have any of you changed your gearing? I talked to my mechanic and he said that he searched all of his vendors and some that weren't even his, and could only come up with 1 (yes, that's a one) posi mid-3 gear in the country. Reason being is that aparantly Dana went out of business, and our limited run rear ends don't have any parts available for them.
Does that mean that nobody has EVER changed the gearing on an 80-82 rear end?
