Gear change
How much should it cost to switch my 3:55 to 3:92?
Will this have a bad effect on my emissions or driveablity? Besides the ring and pinion is there anything else that will need to be changed out? Thanks |

Couple questions need to be answered for cost? Do you have a 2x4 or 4x4? If you have a 2x4- cost should be about $400-600 at a good shop, if you have a 4x4, you have to change the front gears also and that costs more.
Also, if you have a 4x4 and run the 31" tires, I would go with a 4.10. My SLT suffers from the peg leg 3.55 also and since I run 31" tires (stock were 235.75-15), the rear axle ratio with 4.10s will turn out to be about a 3.94. While you are delving into the rear end, get a positraction unit or gear locker installed also. |

A 2x4 is probably good with 3.92s however if you plan on going with 20" wheels, etc, get the 4.10s.
A lot of the Ram guys go with the Dana Spicer Trac Lok from 4wheelparts.com, goes for about $150. A good set of gears goes for about the same from the same place. The remaining cost is labor. With a positraction, you can lay two black strips of roasted rubber instead of one. |

Will the speedometer be off after the gear change? If so, how do I correct it?
Also, which rear end do I have? Thanks |

Speedometer won't be off b/c of a gear change, if you put taller tires (20" rims and some perform. rubber), it might change a little but nothing much noticeable.
If you have 3.55s and a 318, you have the Chrysler 8.25" rear end. Here's a link for the Dana Spicer Trak Lock. http://www.4wheelparts.com/product2....s=DANA&cat=DRI BTW, just a personal opinion but a lowered 2WD with the R/T wheels would be really cool. I have a 4x4 and can't really (or don't want to) lower this one but if I had a 2x4, I'd drop it with a Hotchkis kit for a more aggressive appearance. |

Don't forget a good install kit, will have all the bearings, etc for the gear swap
