I would just swap the gears and change the

What on earth does "the carrier break is 3:42's"
mean?

The carriers are what the ring gear bolts to. There are different carriers for different gears. There is one for 2:73-2:76, 2:76-3:42,3:42-3:73, and 3:73-up. That's what I mean about breaks.
The gears are not as easy to do as change the gears, chaneg the oil and go. You actually have to "setup" the gears so that the have good connection between the pinion and ring gear. If you were to just take yours off and put mine on and throw them back in you would probably get a noisy diff or possible a broken pinion or ring gear or even a carrier. If you take your parts to a shop they shouldn't charge to much to put it in.
Let me know what you want to do.

then my 3:73's? I need 3:08 gears and carrier.
Is it good to "install everything then get it set up.
Or just take all the parts to a good shop?

Yes you need a differnt carrier for your 3.08 gears than what you have. I have both the gears and carrier if you want both. And no You need to take the parts to someone to install them for you. it won't work fo you to take it already installed cause they have to take them out again.

They came out of my 73. The gears are nice and smooth, no grooves in them so yes they will work fine in a Daily driven truck
