Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

How do i figure out what my gearing is in the rear?

G80, GU6, GT4, GT5, WTF? This section is for gearing and driveline stuff.

Well, except for the fact that those axles you bought off of me won't fit an EXT rearend...


I thought you were going the Lincoln locker route?

Welding the rear end? Yea i may try that till i can get a true set up. I probly should have tryed looking in to this more before i went that way but we will see what happens i have found rear end from a ext with g80 is only 200- 300 dollers from a junk yard.

Welded gears shouldn't be considered on a street vehicle... just my opinion...
