I'm looking at regearing my Dodge 2500. Right now it's got 3.55s and I'm thinking of going to 4.10s. With the addition of the 315/75r16s (35s) the RPMs are just too low to be in the power curve. It's fine when empty, but pulling a trailer it's another story.
I thought about just adding more power to the engine, but then the tranny will become an even bigger weak link.
I did the #s and the 4.10s will bring me back to where the 3.55s were with stock sized tires.
I was thinking about adding a limited slip in the rear.
I was looking for a non-clutch unit, anyone have recomendations?
Auburn... don't make one for the Dana 70.
Detroit TrueTrac... not seeing one for D70.
Only thing I have found is the Dana Powerlock which is a clutch unit.
Now install... I'm debating if I should buy a few more tools and do it myself. I don't have a problem pulling the "hog" apart or putting it back together... The only thing is I'm not 100% on judging the patterns.
I got quoted a price of $2218.45 for everything... parts, labor, oil, etc. 12month/12,000 mile warranty. I was figuring aroung $650 for gears/install kits, $500 for the limited slip, and $50 for oil/shop supplies. Before taxes it'd be about $450 per axle for labor.
