Rear end Q's

[96camarolover]

I have open 3.08's on my camaro, A friend of mine gave me a 3.42 ring and pinion towards getting 3.42's and posi...

Was told that I will need a 3 series carrier? Does that mean the whole rear end housing or specific parts?

I know nothing about rear ends so sorry if its a newb question.

Edit: Read the FAQ, I now know the "carrier" is another name for posi, lsd etc... But is it the whole housing or just a part inside the housing is what I need to know now.

Thanks.

it is a part inside the housing

So all I'd have to do is get the part(3 series carrier) And install it along with the 3.42 ring and pinion in the stock housing I have and be all set?

and your going to do this yourself??

Yeah why not? :D

installing a carrier is something an amatuer could handle

That's all the parts you'll need

Yeah why not? :D

Because the pinion needs to be set to within a thousandth of an inch, and any greivance in either direction will cause the gears to fail prematurely, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage....that's "why not"

Haha, I was messing with that other guy... I got professional installation help for my rear end gear swap. :)

Thanks for the info, smoke.
