When do you need a different carrier for a differential?
The point at which a different carrier is needed is referred to as a “Carrier Break”. The Gear Ratio at which Carrier Breaks occur varies, depending on the type of differential. For example, if you have a Dana 44 axle with a gear ratio of 3.73 and want to install a 3.92 or numerically higher gear set, you will need a different carrier.

The power is transmitted from the rear differential along axle shafts that connect to the wheels and rotate to propel the vehicle forward. The gears inside the rear differential are bathed in gear oil, which lubricates the gears and bearings and cools them to prevent overheating.
What should gear ratio be for carrier break?
The Gear Ratio at which Carrier Breaks occur varies, depending on the type of differential. For example, if you have a Dana 44 axle with a gear ratio of 3.73 and want to install a 3.92 or numerically higher gear set, you will need a different carrier.
When do you need a different carrier for a Dana 44?
