Who here put their own gears in?
Well, ive been busy and havent been on here in awhile, trucks doing good, and i see nothing here has changed (AKA 360NEON still asking about transmissions?!?)
Anyone all my performance mods are pretty much done with the exception of the fastman which i have to wait for the next commission check from work for....
Anyway, christmas time im ordering 33's, rims, and 4.56 gears (inb4 "thats too much of a gear") ....just curious how many people here did it themselves? 4v4 truck so i have to do front and back, and i have a garage to do it at....what ones did you order? how do you like it? im thinking detroit tru-trac too...

i installed my own as i do everything on my truck myself i did mine the lazy way and got lucky the gears are working great there 4:10 superior front and 4:10 motive rear purchased them from summit racing i did different brands because of pricing and availabilty i had limited time to install them
If you do it yourself your in for a treat. I have all of the expensive tools to work on differentials. Most people just use impact guns and maybe a torque wrench and seem to get lucky i guess. Its not to bad of a job if you know a little about what your working with.
+1 for the true trac, ive install a few. very nice units.

if you are doing the 9.25 diff finding alternatives to the special tools is easier
but a dial micrometer is still highly recommended as a minimum
keep in mind that somehow Chrysler has messed up the manufacture of the once-reliable 9.25 diff,
and that even old experienced professional techs with all the right tools are seeing these diffs come back to the shop before 60,000 to 100,000 miles have passed.
A good diff should stay in service 200,000 to 300,000 miles
