thick gears or not? My GF just bought me some 3:73's for my Camaro and I currently have 2:73's. I know that you can get thick gears so you don't have to change the carrier. my question is, do I have thick gears or not? I called O'reilly's and they had no f'ing clue. They are motive gears P# GM7.5-373. Does motive even make thick gears for 3:73? Thanks. 
As far as I know Motive does not make a 2 series or "thick" ring gear set. If you want to get a 3:73 ratio for your rear end you'll need to get a ring and pinion from Strange PN 23-875373-X. A number of the sponsors here should stock them.

Verdad Gallardo Yeah, I sent him an Email about that. These rears have a hard enough time holding together. Add a spacer and longer bolts and you can be asking for trouble. They are okay for low power stuff though.
