Looking for a C5 diff case
Just wondering if anyone has a C5 3-rib diff case they're interested in selling? If it's full of gears, that's fine as long as they're not 2.73
I kinda need a new one...
BTW, I not gonna make the next challenge race.

Thats a steal, very fairly priced with the hardend shaft too Paul.
Of course he probably needs 4.10's though, but isnt that just one of lifes kick in the nuts.

Yes it is Doug yes it is
Hey it will get him through the rest the season!.It will cost him more to have his gears put into another case.

I do appreciate the offer, Paul. I'll certainly keep it in mind. I'm really just looking for a case at this point.
Doug, just want to verify with you that a 2.73 case will not work, correct?

Yes but no.. You can use a 2.73 case with a spacer, but I do not agree with it, especially for a raced vehicle.
I would stick with a 3 series carrier if i were you.

I have the 2.73 case and considered 3.15s or 3.42s with the spacer. I'll wait do it with a 3 series case.

Ours is actually a different case Artie, the 2.56s and 2.73s in a 2006 and up C6 is not quite the same as that of a C5's 2.73 or even 3.15 case (or even a 2005 C6's case).
Yours (similar to mine) is quite strong actually and can accept the 3.15s or 3.42s specified for it without upgrading too much else (maybe a hardened output shaft wouldn't hurt).
Or at least I think so LOL.

On second thought... My buddy told me he might want your 3.73.
He has a 3.42...
See where I'm going with this?
Now I just need to get Doug to find time to put my carrier in the 3.42 case from my buddy...
I'll be in touch.
