If you were closer Blue I'd have you come over for a weekend and we could do your gears.

Hello everyone. I'm getting ready to dive into my rear diff on my truck. I've never worked on a rear end before. So I'm a bit timid on the topic. I don't know what gear I have in there all I know is at 70mph my rpm are at 1800. I can't go into 4x4 due to the rest doesn't match the front. From the experience on this thread what are some key points to watch out for?

Why is the front ratio different? Did one of your axles get swapped at some point? Do you know what ratio is in the front? (I suspect the rear is 3.55)
If you haven't done gears before, I would suggest finding someone that has, that can give you a hand, or do a BUNCH of reading on the job before picking up the first wrench, or, paying a shop to do it..... The gears NEED to be set up correctly, else they will not last, and that's an expensive repair to do a second time......
