    Can they be used in one another?? From searching it seems they are the same size..so will they interchange?

    I looked when I had my dana 30 apart, I won't swear to it but I think that the inside diameter of the ring gear was slightly different, I couldn't get the 27 ring gear on the dana 30 carrier.

    Was it off ALOT or would the heating one up and freezing the other trick work??

    No it was more than heating one up would do.

    Can you put the ring & carrier together with some back light, and take a picture of the misaligned holes? Thanks!

    Won't fit,
    Ring gear diameter is wrong, I "believe" the bolt holes don't line up but could be wrong, thickness of gear is wrong, pinion won't fit properly in the housing. Dimensionally they are all wrong. Remember, we're dealing with thousandths and ten thousandths of an inch of clearances and preloads here. I'd suggest getting the right parts for the job. Nickmil

    Thats what I was looking for. I really doubted it would but figured it would be worth a shot.
