Thought it was only the 2.73 Carrier where the "split" was for Ratio compatibility ?
That a 2.87 and Up all use the same Carrier / Ring & Pinion Sets ?
Replaced a 3.15 with 3.73 20 sum years ago.

If its the 2.87:1 then I'm assuming the 3.73 will still fit? I've read somewhere the 2.87 where different to both the 2.73 and the 3.08 and lower making it 3 different carriers????

The 3.08 is the cut off for the other makes at least for GM. I would say if the vender wants to know then I would pull the cover and count teeth so you geet the right parts the first time.
Now when I get to the back of my project I know where to look for the stamp. Oh if I cant find it when I have the cover off to change the oil I will count teeth.

If you have LSD you should not be driving. It's illegal still in most states anyway, but it impacts your vision, reaction times, etc.

Sounds right to me on a model 20. I've used a trac lock that had 4.10's and put it in a car with 2.87's. |

I've had this link sent to me. It might be of interest to some but I'm still unsure. For my money I betting the 2.87 and lower share the same carrier as the post above states but I'm not 100%. So, are there 2 or 3 different carrier?

They only show 2 for the M20, and I'm not believing the 3.07 and up otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pull one from an AMX with a 4.10 and drop it in a Spirit with a 2.87.
If it were different, minor shimming wouldn't have brought it into spec for backlash. |

One of em is on the shelf, the other is in a box. If I can find the one in the box, I'll get pics of em side by side (2.87 and 3.54) and you all can be the judge.
