Re: 4.56 gears in a Dana 30 front
I can't imagine going from 3.07 to 4.56 without needing a new carrier in any
Dana axle. I believe any ratio 3.73 or lower (lower meaning 4.10, 4.56, etc.) needs a new carrier, even in something that old. My TJ's non-reverse cut D30 sure did when I went from 3.55 to 4.10... but I kept the same carrier when converting from 4.10 to 4.88 earlier this year. -- -- Jerry Bransford To email, remove 'me' from my email address KC6TAY, PP-ASEL See the Geezer Jeep at http://members.cox.net/jerrypb/ "JimG" <jimg@cj7_2muchspam.com> wrote in message news:x3IHb.32188$HR4.13579@news01.roc.ny... > I don't think there is any difference - all internal parts are the same. > Did you see Bill's list? > http://www.----------.com/tooth_count.txt > > JimG > > "Terry Jeffrey" <twjeffrey@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:zLHHb.22523$Pg1.19236@newsread1.news.pas.eart hlink.net... > > My original gear was 3.07 too, but I'm certain I did not have to replace > the > > D30 carrier in conjunction with using the LockRite.

Re: 4.56 gears in a Dana 30 front
Jim,
Yes, I saw Bill's list, and believe it to be absolutely correct -- that you will have to replace the carrier in most cases. But I'm also sure that replacing the carrier is not necessary if one is to also install a LockRight at the same time, since installation of the LockRight replaces the spider and side gears that live inside the carrier. These new LockRight spider and side gears are specifically for a given gearing. Taking out the stock carrier, I removed the 3.07 ring gear, removed the roll pin & cross shaft, dropped out the old spider/side gears, bolted the new 4.56 ring gear down on the stock carrier, installed the LockRight into the carrier (with the new spider/side gears), reinstalled the carrier in the D30, and all was well.
