i'm sorry your right..you would think i would know my own gears..by the way the rpo code for the 3.23 is gu5 .and gu2 for 2.73s

Its cool. Figured I'd just chime in and help out. Sometimes people forget, no biggie.

Easiest way to tell, if the driveshaft is rusty you have 2.73's if it is still aluminum 3.23's.

Huh, I've never heard that before....

2.73 cars came with steel driveshafts (hence rusty). 3.23 Cars with the aluminum one (not rusty). Part of the package. If previous owners switched them out it is an entirely different ball game of course.
