Default Rear End Gear Change

It was a few years ago... I had a 99 Vette with a 2.73 rear gear. If I remember the details right, I took it to a company in Fort Wayne Indiana called DT. They replaced the whole diff with one with a 3.73 gear. Since, I heard they sold out and then the new owners went out of business. Now, I have a 2002 Vette with a 2.73 rear gear and want it changed. Who do you recommend? Then, I lived in TN, now I live in OH.

My recommendation as always, is,, rkt56.com. Rick Kim builds killer transmissions and differentials. If Rick can't fix it, or make it better, NO ONE CAN!

http://www.rkt56.com/

Give Rick a call and discuss your needs and goals. I'm very sure that you will enjoy the discussion.

I think the new DTE owners are called HOE-DTE. They are around and post on this forum.

That said Rpm is a good choice.
