Thx,guys for the comments,He has backed off that truck,but would it be feasible to change out the gears in the rear ends,if so does anybody got a cost idea,he really likes the truck itself except for the gearing.Thx again.
I've read were guys have received quotes from dealers and private shops for gear axle ratio changes, if memory serves me correct, the rear axle was around $2,200 and do not remember the front axle cost, that is if he has 4x4.
Search around on the Cummins forum this is where I've seen a few threads discussing axle ratio changes.
That would be full retail for both ends of a 4x4. Remember the diff only then has a one year parts warranty. I believe Dave Smith was going to do cummins12V98 2011 for 1500. Chris
Yes, $1,550.
A great deal but as I have said the truck performed great with the 3.42's towing a combined 29K Just took it easy on grades taking off. Oisin would have cured that small issue!
