What gear ratios were availiable for the 1st gen ram 150?

 

Off the top of my head I'm going to say 3.23, 3.55, or 3.92, but there could be something close to 3:1 as well.

 

thanks, i was just wondering . Beacuse i got to drive my grandfathers 1981ish ram 150, and it hauls a$$.

 

Probably a 3.92 then. My 86 is pretty quick all things considered. It's faster than my 02 somehow. They both weigh about the same, the 02 has much less wind resistance, much lighter/smaller tires, and much higher compression and better heads, but it's also choked with emissions crap, tiny exhaust, and a stock cam. If it wasn't for the 100k warranty I'd do something about it.

 

My 87 has a 2.76

 

I am about to replace my rear end and i was looking for some 3.92's for it, anyone know a place (other than going through every dodge in the scrap yard) for them? After market or used, i am just lookin for some, the cheaper the better though...

What's the tallest gearing I can put in one of these? See my signature for the details.

 

tall gear = numerically low gear ratio = high top speed, slow accelleration

I'm going to assume you don't want that. Randy's has some up to 4.88, OEM rings only go up to 4.10 though.
