*&^$%# GEARS
I have been trying for almost 2 weeks to find out if I have Dana 36 or Dana 44 gears with the G44 & G92 option on a 96 LT1. I have called all 5 GM dealers in my area, NO HELP. I called the GM customer service line, who then put me on the phone with the same dealership who could not help me. The Dealership did make more of an effort this time around called GM Techline who told him that GM did not put Dana 36 or Dana 44 in Corvettes. They put something called a CQW Dana. I asked him what the @&(#$ was that and he said he did not know. :mad .
Is there anyone out there, who had the 3.07 G44 & G92 codes that upgraded to the 3.73? If so what gears did you get. Please someone help me.

Re: *&^$%# GEARS (ddsovy)
I'm told Convertibles had Dana 44's and Coup's had Dana 36's, (at least for the early years)...couldn't tell you why.
So 96 LT1 means Dana 36 (because the 96 manual trans only came with the LT4).

Auto = 36, Stick = 44. (For all C4's) (EDIT, I guess except for '84 if the above is true)
Whatever gear ratio is in the carier is also stamped on the bottom side. If you can get under the car, you can read it yourself. This stamp will be accurate if the gears have not been changed by a previous owner. The previous owner could have also changed the 36 to a 44 if they were into drag racing.

According to Pace Performance, if you have the G44 & G92 codes, you cant tell if you have a D36 or D44 unless you remove the cover. IThanks for the help, I think I am going to go with the D36, thats what I seem to have more replies on than D44. If its wrong, hey thats why they have refunds right.
