        just find the gears you want with 2 series carrier. Aftermarket gears come in 2 or 3 series carrier.

          I'm gettin my car back probably tomorrow with new 3.73 gears put in. I ended up getting a series 3 carrier - the company messed up on the shipment of the gears and I went ballistic at them so they sent me a series 3 carrier with installation kit for 100 bucks with free overnight shipping. Can't beat that [img]smile.gif[/img] Man it'll be an iiiinnnsaaane change from 3.08 gears!

            i didn't read anything else, just the topic...so i don't know if your question has been answered.

            series is only a size measurement. if you go from 3.08s, you'll want to put an lsd in there anyways, and the most common lsd is a 3 series. so, if you go with gears any higher than 3.08, they are probably 3 series as well. carrier just means the differential--whether it is open or not.
