Will 7.5" gears fit in a 7.625" rear?
kind of a dumb question.. but I do not remember what diameter my rear is, and I want to order a rear cover and a powertrax system for it. I have 7.5" gears in my dif atm, can I safely assume that my diff is actually 7.5" in diameter?
like I said, I'm stupid

The gear size(7.5 and 7.625) are exactly that, just the gear size. They use the same carrier and rear-end housing. So, the gears interchange. For some reason GM decided to make the gears 1/8 inch bigger.
