im wanting to put 4:10 gears in my 99 dodge ram 1500 4x4 with the 5.9L in it. has anyone every changed the gears before? if so id like to know how hard it is to do and wat some 4:10 gears cost. let me know thanks

 

Gears about $200-300 a set, master install kit $100 a set. labor varies. You'll need a set of gears and install kit for each axle, and a new carrier upfront unless you get a "thick gearset" for the D44 front axle. No new carrier necessary in the back.

It's not a job to be undertaken lightly. You can hose a set of gears quickly if you can't set bearing preload and backlash correctly.

and don't go to a 4wheelparts store for the labor.

 

Yo aim what's a new carrier cost?

Here are some gear sets with install kits.

looks like Randy's ring and pinion has them for $125

 

How tall can we go on the rear lsd?

 

4.88 on a corporate 9.25"

 

Nice I have been thinking when I do gears of throw a rear locker in. But I do most of my driving on black top.

 

well im 18 and work at a mechanics shop so im pretty sure we can get it done. just didnt know how much it cost and if it was all that difficuld. ik u got to set the pinion and all the stuff. will it make much of a difference? im imagine they are stock gears and it has plenty of power in 1st and 2nd gear but once it shifts into 3rd it starts to loose power and when it shifts to 4th shes a dog. I have 35" tires so i imagine thats y it doesnt have a whole lot of power

 

Look at the link I put in. They sell 4.10 and 4.56 kits front and rear with install kits.

 

ya i was also thinking about making the rear end posi...that make it even more expensive?
