looking for gearing replacement info

[DR_APLET]

I just bought a donor 92x for the manual tranny and front end. it has 3.27 gears, mine has 3.55 gears and welded front diff. i was hoping to find 3.73 gears.
with that said, the welded gears i think are too much for the front end to handle i want to use the carrier from the 3.27 would i need to re-shim and diff setup if i took the carrier and put it in mine with my ring gear?

second i have not found any thread on re-gearing whats up. there needs to be a gearing sticky.

any help out there? i want to use the carrier and put a lunch box in and get rid of the welded diff. i will offer it in trade just kidding

Yep, you would need to set the backlash when you swap out the carriers.

if i used the third member out of my existing x and put it into the new housing i wont have a problem will i? i think i will have to do the carrier swap at a later point.

If you mean take the third member out and swap it into a different truck it will be fine. Wont have to set up any gears as long as you dont swap anything inside the thirds.

does any one have any freebie 3.73's on the western half of the U.S.
