What gears should i go with? Well guys my car isnt an ls1 fbody! But i still wanted to see what opinions yall had with gears for my iroc. I really dont know what it has right now but what would be the best way to go? Its a 355 with a 700r4 with a small stall. I really wanted to go with 3.73's but dont know how high my rpms will be at highway speeds and it also has overdrive so that should help a lil bit with the rpm's and mpg.

3.70 and 3.73 are pretty much the same thing. A person would not be able to feel the difference between the 2 gears. Let me know if you haveany questions.

There are no 3.42 or 3.55 gears available for this rearend. You can only get stock used 2.73, 3.08, 3.27 or NEW 3.70. This is a GM 7.75 Borg Warner Rearend not a 7.5/7.625 diff like the late style.

Bearings Different size?? Which Bearings?
No axle savers for this application. It uses a bolt in style axle with a tapered wheel bearing not a flat roller bearing. I doubt your axle shafts are bad. You can just buy axle bearings and seals, they run about $100.00 for a set with 2 Bearings & 2 Seals.

Its cuz we changed the bearings and seals because it was leaking but we had to get axle savers because the axles had the marks where the bearing had been pressed in and we couldnt run a seal there. So we had to run the axle savers so wont both inner and outter parts of the axle be worn out because of the pressed bearings?
