Gears... Help Identify

[pilks]

I was under the car to install a new fuel filter. Took some pics, don't know how to read the item on the rear ......

help identify....

looks like its going to be a 2.73.....

you need to bend the tag down, start at the bottom left, should be 2L73 or 3L08 or 3L23....... the L just means trac-loc the other 3 numbers go in order. if there is no L then its an open diff.

^^ yea...pretty much :thumbsup: thanks lee you make my life easy

Was an open Diff even an option???? correct me if i'm wrong open diff will NOT lock; basically becoming loose if it loses traction

as appose to a traction loc

that locks when it slips?

 

[duff daddy]

an open diff basically has no traction device in the rear end, you have no limited slip you have no "posi" and ovbiously not a spool or locker. you see tihs most comonly in v6 cars or a 2wd ranger...

So i have a trac - loc with 2.73's i guess i can live with that..... i need 4.10s

 

[duff daddy]

you dont need 410s, dont fear the gear get some 430's in there :wink:

now i don't feel so bad about running a 14.9

i need the GEARS!

 

[duff daddy]

yea get some gears in there, I had 3.73's in my car when i ran my 12.6... decide what you want to do with the car and then go from there

thats exactly what i ran (in the 1/8th) with my bone stock 96 auto with 3.08s so you are doing fine...... 3.73s will get you another 2-3 tenths possibly more if you can get traction out the hole and cut that 60'
