94 LTI Gears
Guys, clarify this for me. I have 2.59 gears in my car. If I wanted to go with 3.07 gears (GM) , do I need to change the carrier ? and if so, what would a carrier cost me ?
I know Richmond Gears sells the 3.54 kit for the vette which utilizes the existing carrier.
Thanks

Re: 94 LTI Gears (neekos)
No, you don't need a new carrier. A set of 3.07's will fit into your Dana36. I do suggest you go higher than 3.07's though. 3.54's or 3.73's will make a real difference. If you go for a new carrier (Dana 44), then you're looking at a lot more bucks and other modifications (new driveshaft and torque arm).

For a street car I would go with the 3.54 over the 3.73's in an auto, I love the 3.73's for autos at the track, but they cruise a little high on the highway in my opinion. Both of these would fit in your D36.

If you are wanting to go to a 3.07 from a 2.59 you will have to change the carrier. The carrier for the 2.59 (2 series) has a different spacing then the 3.07 (3 series). Aftermarket gear manufactures make ring and pinion sets in 3.54, 3.73 ratios to fit both the 2 series and 3 series carriers but I have never seen a 3.07 after market gear. If 3.07 is what you want then I suggest you find a rebuilder who will exchange yours (the complete dana 36 diff.) for one with a 3.07.

Re: 94 LTI Gears (Glock'94)
Wait, if a 3.07 gear isn't compatible with 3.54 and 3.73 ... then why is it I've always been told I can upgrade to a 3.54 and 3.73 from my 3.07's?? :confused: :confused:

Why rebuild? ~~~ I have a 3.07 with carrier that I am considering selling. My setup has ~ 30K miles on it. If interested ~ send me an e-mail.
