um.

yeah.

what?

so.. um... what axle is this?

have you ever thought to look at some of the gear company catalogs to figure out what axles have what ratio splits for what carriers?

I mean, for me... thats kinda basic, right?

am i alone in this?

just asking because randys ring an pinion has carrier breakes the the 14bff at 4.56 and up and 4.10 and down so i would use my stock carriers..... just a question, any question not asked is a dumb one

Yes I would assume you have the 4.56 ratio. There are carrier breaks, for the D44 it is 3.73/3.92 and the 14 Bolt 4.10/4.56 so you can put 5.13 ratio on both of those carrier cases. The only issu is on the 14 bolt you cannot run an aftermarket gear you must fo with a GM gear which we have in stock. Let me know if you have any questions or if we can be of any help with parts.
