now that i have your attention....

does anyone know where i can get gears for a 9 bolt? i gotta ditch my 2.77s. id like to go 3.27 or 3.45. ideas???


oh and sorry for the cheap trick (hey you clicked it didnt you? )

 

sneaky bastard lol

 

Ok, I wont read this.

 

I had a 2.77 9-bolt once, now it is sitting empty in my garage. The problem is you have a 2-series carrier and I believe the best you can get into it would be 3.08. You'd need a 3-series carrier for gears numerically higher than 3.08. I said eff it and went with a 10-bolt.

You can try Richmond Gear, Jeg's, Summit, or do a google search for 9-bolt gears and click away.

There's a post around here somewhere entitled "Everything I Know About 9-bolts" that may help you in your decision. I couldn't find it only due to lack of time.

Buena Suerte....

yes, you have a 2-series carrier. You'll have to locate a complete carrier as well as a gear, meaning more time and money than it's probably worth.

There are few sources to get any of the parts from. Do a search, there are several threads on here.

 

Could he not just replace the posi? Doing that would also get him the 3 series carrier he needs for the shorter gears, no?

 

If it was that easy I'm going to shoot my mechanic. He & I went thru hell AND high water and ended up having to go with the 10-bolt. I can't remember the specifc reason, but the 3-series carrier just wasn't available or the housing was too small or someshyte. I wanna know the answer to that too........

 

Unless I misunderstood, the posi/diff IS the carrier....?

 

I think Randy's ring and pinion may carry 9 bolt stuff. Also Diffsolutions.com if he is still around.

 

yep, and reider can usually get the 3.70 gear and sometimes the instal kit.

yes, and yes, now try finding a complete carrier for a 9-bolt. Parts for a 9-bolt are practically non-existent.
