Catologs show 3.73 gears for both 3 and 4 12 bolt carriers. Is there any differance in the durability of the two? Also which is a better unit, the Moroso, Eaton or Aurburn. They all seem to be priced close.

Thanks
Tom

The Auburn unit is non-rebuildable, the Eaton is totally service ready, and the Moroso unit is a four series unit with some serious 800 lb springs in the posi unit. Have owned all three, never had a problem with any of them, just depends what gears you're running and how you intend to use the posi.

There is no difference in strength between the 3 and 4 series. If you think you might want to go with something like a 3.42 gear later then you should use the 3 series. You can get thick gears for the 3 series all the way to 4.88, so unles you think you might want to go with a 5.13 or something like that later I would recommend getting the 3 series. As for the Auburn, I don't care for them for several reasons that I won't go into right now. The Moroso is an Eaton with the 22 disc clutch set and 800 pound preload springs. They are not recommended for street use. The new Eaton has 400 pound preload springs and carbon fiber lining on the clutch plats. These are good for street use, but the clutches should probably be changed to the steel 18 disc set for drag racing.
