2005 AWD - Front and rear gears interchangable?
Kind of a newbie question but I am swapping over to a 4L80e and am thinking about picking up some 3.42's from the for sale section (currently running 4.11's). I've got a ton of bottom end torque (I hit 10lbs's at 2500 rpm) and I would like to drop my RPM's on the highway (I commute daily with the truck). I've also read that the turbo's load up even faster with taller gears. I was considering 3.73's but it's such a small drop that I didn't think it would be cost effective.
I run into a bunch of single sets but haven't had any luck finding someone with a pair of 3.42's for sale. Are all the OEM's gear sets (other than 14 bolt sets) interchangable? I don't want to pick up to seperate sets only to find out that I need a different set for the front differential.
thanks, Rick
