I need a set of 3.55 gears for an 8.8, I'll trade a set of 3.73s or let me know how much.
Or, if anyone has a set of 3.73 for a D30 HP or LP...
-
Anyone?
-
Let me look in the shed tonight. I think I have a 3.73, 30 gear set. But can't remember. I sold Mark a set awhile back but not sure if it was the rear 35 or 30? Will let you know.

I'm not sure either Ben, but when you sold that set to me you said it was the only set in your shed, cause I needed a 30 and 35 set for Donna's jeep. I also forgot to look in my shop today, I will try tonight to see what I have.

I appreciate any help I can get, thanks very much.

I would have sold them both! {ehm} I don't remember you needing both. Will check tonight and get back to you Copper.

Ben I looked back at my post, you may have the D30 set, it was low pinion so it wouldn't work for me, I got the 3:73 D35 according to the post.
-
{toast} cool. Just gotta find em now!
-
You already have the HP30, don't waste your time on the LP!

I hear ya Jimmy, but I have limited funds and I've got less than six weeks to get this project finished.

Well, here's what's going on... I bought an 8.8 from Michael to go in my Jeep. He thought it had 3.55s in it. We spun an axle and counted the yoke and it looked like he was correct. So, I got an HP D30 with 3.55 gears for a screamin deal to go in it too. Michael had said it was making a bearing noise so I went ahead and bought the master install kit to fix it. I got the 8.8 all prepped to add the new brackets, etc, then pulled the cover to discover it had 3.73s.
So, I have the 8.8 with 3.73s, a HP D30 with 3.55s and a LP D30 with 3.07s. Since I already have the master install kit for the 8.8, I'd really prefer to find 3.55s for it. 2nd preference is 3.73s for the HP D30, and least desirable is 3.73s for the LP D30.
(Or a trade for a HP D30 with 3.73s ;D )
Anyways, let me know what you've got and I'll decide from there.
Thanks for the help guys!!! {salute}

Chuck,
If it's an option, I would go ahead and redo the 8.8 with the 3.73's, and not run 4x4 until I found and installed a set of 3.73's for the HP. There should be some low cost gears available if 3.73's was popular in the HP30..
Wouldn't want to go to 3.55's.
-
The thing is 3.73's weren't popular in the HP30's. Most common is going to be a 3.55 and the occasional 4.10 from a 4 banger.
-
And I have been running 3.07s for the last 5 years. Albiet it is definitely not ideal, 3.55s or 3.73s will be an upgrade, and there isn't much difference (to me anyways) between the two. So, it doesn't really matter whether it 3.55s or 3.73s, neither are what I want in the end. I will eventually go to 4.88s, but for now I just want to get the front and rear matched so I will still be able to wheel.
As I have said before on this forum, I broke the differential casing in half in my previous TJ just driving it on the street. And the only wheeling it ever saw was some semi rough dirt roads up to that point. So... the D35 in the rear of my Jeep scares the crap out of me. I will feel much better when the 8.8 is in whether its 3.55s or 3.73s.
