Re: GearZ

power output could be a variable, but the posi should hook better, the pegleg will just spin.

Re: GearZ

Put them together, 3.42 with a posi. I had been waiting for GearZ to come on TV for a long time and it's good to see Stacey David back on air

Re: GearZ

I would love to do that. Is that plausible? how would I go about doing that? can I use my gears in the onelegger in the posi?

Re: GearZ

If it's the same series carrier you should be able to do it. Just swap the 3.42 ring gear onto the posi carrier and change out the pinion gear. You'd also have to re-setup the gears for the proper pinion depth/backlash/gear pattern, all that fun stuff.

Re: GearZ

If it were me, yes. Changing the parts over is easy but time consuming but if you don't have the right tools to set up the gears, they wont last long.
