I have to say to funkhoss: 1000 Thanks for your fantastic help.

I have began the hunt for one of the suggested rear ends.

A good amount of choices….now to find a needle in a hay stack…I lean towards the 8.75 rear end for it being stronger than the 8.5 and in the hope to find a 2.41 with Possi. There are only about 100 of RPMs between the 2.21 and a 2.41, and the 2.41 is much easier to find.

This with a 6L80e will make my van a real great powered set up. More or less a complete updating of the whole drive line. A TPI 383 with a 6 speed automatic to a stronger 8.75 rear end with 2.41 gears.

At last this set up is within my grasp...

Question: I was told I would have to replace the carrier to get a 2.41 gear set into my 8.5 rear end. Is that correct?
