The 3.08's will need a new carrier that is a series 2. The reason for the break is the diameter of the pinion head is too large once you hit the taller gears that the ring gear needs to be further from center.doyoulikeithere wrote:I have a 7.625 ring on a G80. Its a 3.73:1
Can I bolt my 1987 7.5 ring - 3.08 gears to that newer G80 carrier which has the 3.73?
