what's the problem with the front diff to small

 

hey thanks blown. this is why i love this site, a lot of good people. now i got this image in my head and i plan on running with it. does anyone know if chilton's is better then the hanes book?

 

[You have several gears setups to choose from also. The trouble with 4x4 is finding a set for the front. For gears you have 3.55, 3.92, 4.10, 4.56 etc.

how could i find out which would be the best gear set to fit into my stock housing?

 

Do you have a 9.25 rear end?

 

how can you tell I know I have the 3.55 gearing now

 

if they still use the same rear ends as in the 2nd gens 8.25 and 9.25
the 8.25 will have a oval shaped diff cover
the 9.25 will have a diamond shaped diff cover

 

I thought all the 3rd Gens were 9.25

 

that is what i was thinking lghtnblt02, but by what abels put down, i looked and i have the oval shaped cover. which makes me wonder if that is going to change what i have thought i have had. cause i do have the towe package on my vehicle and it is 4 wheel drive. i need to get the owners manual out and read through that sucker.

 

they may have changed it for the 3rd gens, remember im just going by what it is for the 2nd gens

 

i gotcha....i will just have to find out which one i have and when i do i will post my findings up here.
