It's the type of thing a friend may swap without saying a thing, a
used carrier, is a used carrier, no skin off his nose, he'll probably
swap it for a carrier the broken spiders butchered on another job, still
not saying a thing. One thing for sure, the Dana 30 carrier changes
between 3.54 and 3.73.

Yup, I agree with that. Thing is though, Bill, I did all the install work
myself and I still don't recall replacing the carrier. And I've always
prided myself with a having pretty good memory (until now)!! Oh yea, my
brother-in-law did assist with the install (only cost me a few beers).

The Ring and Pinion gears will fit just fine in the D30, the problem - poor
choice of words - is that the carrier won't accept the larger Ring gear. You
simply need to buy a new carrier as well as the gear set that you want.

The issue with the carrier is that the Ring gear won't fit the carrier for
taller than 3.73s.
