Just wondering what gears I should get for my 6.0. I'm real tired of 3.73's on these 35's. What brands to you guys suggest and what ratio will get me close to stock gearing and tires? Thanks.
Well what are you looking for? You want to go higher or lower? What's wrong with the 3.73's and 35's?
Most people really like 3.73's with 35's. What size trailer are you towing? The cost to change gears is gonna be around $800-1k including labor so you def wanna make sure you think its worth it before you swap them out.
I've heard good things about http://www.yukongear.com/ from alot of my Dodge buddies, just never had a chance or need to get any myself.
Thanks that site helped alot. However what rear axle do I have? That site lists a Dana 70 and a Ford 10.5" for my year of truck.
Thanks, can you PM me about it?4.10's would be nice, ive always used 3.73's for 33's, 4.10's for 35"s and 4.56's for 37"s.
If you want a R&P ill gladly get you taken care of man.
Ya I know I need front and rear, I always just call the diff gears "rear ends" out of habit, even if I'm talking about the front. Highway RPM won't bother me as I'm rarely on it. I really want to do a locker but it comes down to price. Thanks for the info!Forgive me if I state the obvious, but you'll need to re-gear the front to match the rear (your avatar shows a 4WD, and you signature lists the truck as a FX4).
I run 4.10s with 37s, and the combination works great. The 4.10s with 35s will be better for towing, but your interstate cruising RPMs will be higher and be more noticeable when un-trailered.
Yukon make very good gears. You'll need master install kits for both the Sterling 10.5" rear differential and Dana 60 (35 spline) front. As all the guts will be out, check the bearings and seals, as well as the ball-joints and u-joints on the front. Also, it would be a time to look into selectable locker or something of a better quality to replace the limited slip rear differential.
