rear end questions

:eek: wow every thing is different here
any how i want to change the rear gear in the bird but dont have 200 bucks to spend so my question is dose anyone know what cars\trucks came with a 10 bolt 7 5/8 (7.625) inch rear end and a 3.73 or 3.42 gear ratio also 3 series carrier


or know where to find one cheaper ive been on ebay summit jegs and many other places i was thinking the junk yard will be the best bet and might be a chance to ge an limmited slip or mabey a possi (i think a possi is not likely though)


also do you think a 3.73 or the 3.42 would be better for me and my daily driver

Yea, junkyards a good place to look. Daily driver I would go with 3.42's...what is your ratio now? It should be right around 3.42 already...

its 3.23 stock

Tons of vehicles have the 7.5 rear. Such as S10's and some caprice and impala's. I agree for a daily driver I would go with 3.42's but 3.73's won't hurt you too much more than 3.42's top end and gas mileage. If you would like me to see if I can find you a cheap set of gears let me know via PM. I run across them all the time.

I run across them all the time.

they fall outta cars in front of you?! :p

so is a 7.5 the same as a 7 5/8 (7.625)

Yup, 7.5, 7.625. All the same stuff.
