Can I bolt my 1987 7.5 ring - 3.08 gears to that newer G80 carrier which has the 3.73?
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.
Current rides:
2013 Toyota Tundra DC 4x4
2008 Dodge Nitro 4x4
2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8S Special Edition
