Typo I presume, think he meant to type 15. Which according to above would indeed be 2.73 unfortunately. Going 71 shows you should be turning about 2100 rpms.

If you're talking about the spider gears in your rear end, that means you have a v6 rear, I THINK. I'm not the expert, but XXX best insurance and GM put a open 3.08 gear rear in my car when the previous owner had it. Another thing, if you have the 2.73's, you have the series II carrier, which is for 3.23 and numerically lower gears. You can still get 3.73, 411, whatever made for your carrier. I say be very careful with it and try to find a spare. Then save up andget something we all know won't break..
