What year and models used the 5.62's?  I work in a GM dealership parts department and I could look up the part #'s if given the information to look for. 

Sounds like this ring gear set would feel right at home in my little 90 Geo.

89 and 90...  Trackers/Sidekicks  Manual, Carbureted, 1.3 liters ONLY..

VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY Few made.  Let us know if you find a source.

To make sure I have this straight... With 5.62's and 235/75's I won't be able to go as fast on the interstate?  What about gas mileage?  Trying to get the facts before I try this out.  I want a DD/Trail rig, but I still need to get to 75 mph... Hmmmm....

It will still prolly pull 75 with the 235's and 5.62's

BUT, if all you are putting on is 235's... you don't need the 5.62's

Gas mileage has a LOT to do with the weight of your tire/wheel combo, as well as gearing.

235's are usually less than 29 inches, mine were.  and with 235's mine would run 75... barely, but it would pull it.  With my current tires, I am lucky to run 65.... WITH 5.62's...


BUT, this all depends on you finding 5.62's... lol....

Yah, I know... Still on the hunt for these... They are RARE!  I've called prolly 35 places so far and have put my name on some search sites... My wife calls me OCD, I call myself TENACIOUS, is there really a difference?  Is the front diff a dropout assembly?  There are places that sell the front as a whole and the rear separate...

Yeah, the front IS a drop out.. but the thing is, you have to drop out the whole front axle housing to get it to where you can "drop it out"... SO, I imagine that is why they sell the whole front housing and just the rear third.

BUT, it is NOT a bad thing to have a spare axle and diff housing... cause they break...
