Re: 4.56 gears in a Dana 30 front

Hi Terry,
Supply and demand, if he was going the other way he'd get a used
carrier for free.
Tom's running a Dana 35c with the 4.56 smaller opinion, far less
than 32" tires or he'll be sending me pictures to:

Re: 4.56 gears in a Dana 30 front

$200 for the new carrier???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha , those guys are just
yankin' your chain... or if they're serious, they're giving you a royal
reaming. I never paid more than $60 for a brand new carrier in my life and
that includes for the Dana 30 that I bought my last carrier for.
