Hey everybody,
I picked up an 8 1/4" rearend today with the 2.45 gear set from a 1974 Dart. There are a lot of threads on here with very convoluted information regarding multiple housings/carriers/etc. Before I go pull a carrier this weekend from the junkyard I want to make sure I understand everything correctly.
From what I understand, I should be able to pull the carrier and pinion from an 84-97 Jeep Cherokee and install it in my 1974 8 1/4" housing correct? The carrier bearings might be a different outside diameter but the inside diameter is the same and the bearings can be swapped and it should work. There are TWO carriers but only one HOUSING.
Does this sound right?
