Does not work for my 2003. Too far back in time I suppose. Was Damiler Chrysler, then later just Chrysler, now Fiat Chrysler, a bankruptcy....

I did have the dealer run a build sheet from the VIN however, and as I mentioned, the sticker in the glove box has the axle info on it.

Or jack up a rear wheel, mark the driveshaft, spin wheel 1 revolution. If the ds spins less than 4x it's a 3.73, more than 4, it's a 4.10. Those are the likely ratios unless some aftermarket gears were installed.

MeAgain will post the Chrysler site using your Vin# to get your window sticker???

Go to the dealer parts department and give them the VIN number and ask them to print you off a build sheet. This will give you the rear axle ratio but will also give you all the options and option codes.

Easier than that however is to simply open your glove box and look at the sticker in it. It will give the VIN, the trans and code, the axle ratio and ring gear size and code and primary and secondary paint codes.

Did it have a factory tow package? The build sheet will tell you.

the slippage was in a 03 and did not like having to rev up to get a heavy load moving is what I was talking about

also the torque converter is not always locked in the earlier 48re so yes it would slip till it locked up

yes I am close to maxing out the weight but I do gain some by it being a 2wd

the g 56 it a very good shifting and smothe transmission in this truck

if it handles the power of a cummins I know it can handle a hemi

The manual can't help but beat the 545RFE.
Your still likely exceeding towing capacity but at least you have the payload.

had automatic diesel before and just hated the slippage in the torque converter

I don't understand this concept. Maybe autos slipped a lot back in the 70's before lock up converters.

Was your diesel of modern day technology?
