Newb Help. v6 and 4cyl spider gears?
I couldn't seem to find an answer to this anywhere. Are the spider gears interchangable from a v6 rear and a 4cyl rear. Im thinkin of welding one then having the other to switch out when needed. If they were interchangeable that would be sweet. Also are spools the same for 4cyl and v6? I no that ring and pinions def are not lol.
Thanks
Thanks

No they are not. V6 uses 4 spiders gears (aka 4pinion) 4cyl uses 2 spider gears (aka 2pinion)
Spools are not the same. THe 4Cyl are easy to weld, and it can be done without removing the spider carrier. The V6 is a little more complicated. I have not seen anyone weld that before, since it uses an enclosed carrier.

Ooo. sry I get it now cause the spool replaces the carrier where as a lunchbox locker like powertraxx doesn't. I think i may just go with a poertraxx.

Spool or lunchbox, there will be some setup required. Either way the ring gear needs to come off.
Lunchboxes are for school kids.

I plan on running a skinny 33 (9.5 or 10.5) with my 4.56 v6 gears and wanted to lock the back. I like spool because it is predictable. I don't realy care about tire wear but i do not want to snap any axles or anything. I wheel in snow and mud a lot and some minor technical stuff. Mainly mud and snow

Spools are definitly fun in the snow. I run a spool in the rear and will never go back, and I have yet to break a rear axle.
