Hey guys my carrier gears are shot in my rear end I am trying to locate just the carrier gears. Has anyone done this before? I have the G80 with 3.73 gears.

you might as well replace the G80 with something more reliable, several much better units out there to choose from.

if you had been about a week earlier i had one for sale i let go hella cheap.

EATON TRUETRAC!!!! FTW!!!!

Thats what happen to me, well the ring and pinion. Pinion decided to grenade took out 8 teeth on the ring while doing so.

Definitely new, if not try junk yard. I dont think you can get just the gears. To bad you live on the other side I would give you my carrier. still good

Bolt in swap for the most part, but you'll need a conversion u-joint, Precision 447 IIRC.

Make sure it's a 4wd rear or you'll need wheel spacers because they came in 2wd trucks that were 6 lug

trutrac...take the G80 and toss it.

14 bolt is basically a bolt in coversion...new U joint and new U bolts

I've got one just like it. It was out of a '95 though and is a G80 (grumble). Almost have it ready to install. Looks like everything is a direct fit, so we'll see. Make sure you get the bottom U-bolt plates if you get the axle, its a larger dia. than the 10-bolt. If you can get it at a good price, I'd go for it. Just the difference in size is impressive.

Oh yeah, the coversion U-joint I got is a Precision #447 at Summit. $46 delivered.

TruTrac FTW! Can't wait till I get mine.
