gearing confusion
I believe I have v6 3rds installed in my 85 axles. so looking for new Yukon gears and they list 4cyl and v6 as different gear sets. can you put v6 gears in a 4cyl housing? do I order the v6 or the 4cyl, the v6 seems like it would be stronger? thanks for any info.

Yes you can put V6 thirds into 4 Cylinder axle housings, however you need the V6 Thirds to go with the V6 Gears. You cannot install a V6 gearset into a 4 Cylinder third
Definitely a stronger gear set due to the additional 2 spider gears and larger carrier bearings
