I just read this info in the Tech Archives... http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/axle/22.html It looks like 3.91 may be the limit for a 8.75 sure grip. 8.25 had a 2.76 sure grip though...

In a 489 or 742 case (big pinion). I had to sell my last sure grip with my Charger and now need one for the Challenger. I have a 2.76 open (489) for now, but i need the sure grip. I have never seen a 2.76 sure grip in this case/pinion size, only 741.
Did they not make them or did they just all get gear-swapped for better gears..???
Also, were there ever any aftermarket gear sets with higher gears for the 8 3/4"...??? I mean 2.5's or ???
I pulled a 2.76 sure grip from a 66 c body and it was a 742 case

Doc, I like you and all, but you are in the minority on this one. You are the only one that I have ever heard refer to gears this way. Short, low, digger, deep gears = 3.91 and numerically higher. Tall, long, highway, freeway gears = 2.76, 2.93 etc.

NO ...all it-is is just a way something is described. YOU want to call a gear (that is short numerically) TALL .... fine with me.
But PLEASE don't confuse our nice-neighbors north-of-the-border anymore than they already are ...

OK ...let me make it EZ for you ..... Here we have TWO #'s ..... 222 and 444. WHICH # is more numerically bigger, larger .... aka taller ? Now if you want to "corrupt" that reasoning to mean the opposite .... lite-up another I know what you are trying to say ... I have been dealing with this MORE TIMES than just here .... BUT THIS is just like what they do to us in the voting-booth sometimes ... they have us voting YES on a ballot ... if we don't want it to pass. ...
