luv the new 3.07s
Got my 88 back with the new gears. It's a major improvement over the 2.73s.
It really accelerates much faster. I didn't expect such an improvement with a 3.07.

I want to install 3.07's in mine too but other things keep failing one after another. 2.56's with an auto are great for economy but no fun at all.

Most of my driving is stop and go. I work in Sacramento. Even the freeways here are stop and go.
I have a feeling that my mileage may increase.

I bought a stock 3.07 from a forum member on our parts for sale section. The seller lives near me so I just met him and picked it up.
Shipping is a big cost when buying a rebuilt pumpkin and then you have to return a core. That all adds up.
The pumpkin was in very good condition. I just had new bearings and clutches installed.
It's real quiet. I was a little worried about having a thick Richmond gear installed. I was told I could end up with a gear whine.
So for my DD a stock 3.07 made a lot of sense.

Did you do the bearings and seals or decide to toss the dice and try it as is?

I had it rebuilt with new clutches and bearings. I don't have a lift so I had a differential shop do the work.

Dana 36 w/3:07's Available
Before posting this I got the ok from Fred. I have a Dana 36 pumpkin with 3:07's sitting in my garage. Out of my '90/auto. Has 97,000 Arizona miles on them. Nothing wrong just replaced them with a Pete Kane 3:73 pumpkin. They are in Cave Creek, AZ & I would sell for $275.00 plus shipping. When Pete shipped the 3:73's from PA to AZ the DHL price was approximately $75.00 last year. If there is any interest send me an e-mail so I can respond with pictures. Thanks for letting me post this Fred.
