I want to change out my 7.5 - 2.something ring and pinion to a 3:42 set. How do I know if I have a "2" or a "3" series carrier and can I use a ring set out of an S-10????? I am looking to make this a nice driver car thus I'm sticking with the 7.5.

Talk to monzaz (Jim) on this board. He isn't far from you and set me in the right direction for gears and everything to install them.

Go to a junk yard and pickup 26 spline carrier with 3.42 gears from an 82-87 S-10.
