Hello,
So I've got the 7.5" 3.73 l/s and the spider gears are bad. The teeth have been rounded off and chunks are missing out of them. I've done my research and there are no aftermarket parts to fix these. The dealer wants about 400$ for new spider gears rebuild kit and clutch packs.
I found a whole axle with about 55,000 miles for $450 at the local junk yard.
I read somewhere I could use spider gears from an open diff if the pin they accept is 3/4" dia. I don't know what the chances of that happening are.
I really just wanna get this thing back on the road, but I would also like to keep the traction of the l/s for the winter time, I live in Alaska.
Any advice you guys have will help.
Dave
