    Last year the 10% was store wide(minus 3rds and clamshells). Then there was a list of items with better discounts for the GB. Stay tuned to find out.

    The tech sheet would lead me to believe you need

    hmmm, I see... Maybe up means higher gears and down means lower gears... Did I just confuse it more? That might be worth a call to clarify, so it doesn't stump more people out there.

    So I see with the 3rd members that folks buy from their website requires a core exchange...so does that mean that folks who buy their kits will have to send away their 3rd member? I was hoping someone close to me in SoCal would upgrade and want to sell their newer 3.73 3rd member to me at a discount...don't know if that's possible. I'm looking for newer models 2013 to 2015 3rd members to buy in 3.73" gear and install in my 2WD truck.

    If you take it to a local shop they will just open up your 3rd and install the new gears during a re-build. The core charge you see is if you were to just buy a complete 3rd from ECGS. Though there are no discounts on 3rds or clamshells from ECGS. In essence the price break they are providing is equivalent to the parts you'd pay for in a new 3rd.

    ECGS posted a tech which also on the OP now. But it's more on compatibility than what tire size goes to what gear ratio. Not sure if they will post that. But there are calculators out there. I'll see if I can find one.

    Well, it's Saturday Morning. The Sale is on. There's no special prices for gears like last year. But they are still nicely priced with the discount.

    Prices on the website don't seem any different than they normally are? With exception of the 10% LD sale...

    The prices look the same to me. Do we really have group buy prices? I checked their Facebook and it says: "Use the code LABOR to save the 10%. Enjoy the long weekend!!"
