So my fancy G2 core 44 was trashed from a car accident. I replaced it with a Dana 30 because i own a house now and im broke. My rear has a stock Dana 44 with tracklok limited slip.
I saved the Detroit truetrac front diff carrier with gears from my g2. Can this just be swapped out in the rear end using the eears bearings? It sounds like since the g2 was high pinion the gears would be reverse cut needing the swap of the ring gear. If i swap the ring gears does the backlash etc need to be reset? Is it worthy to swap these 2 diffs? I have the truetrac in lots of other pickups ive owned from GM and always had good luck with them, and enjoy their on and offroad performance.
Any thoughs are appreciated. I do have a few local truck shops that can do the work if its not recommended i do myself. I do have my own lift and shop at home but never set gears before.
