Darn it Dave!!! You should have swung by my place. I will give you a 3:08 ring gear and pinion. I have had it sitting in my shop for 6 years with no intention to use it. Any 3 series gears will fit as long as its for the 8.2 rear end. I hate these rear ends with a passion and have upgraded them with the 8.5s Way better gear selection and stronger.
