I'm looking at getting 3.92 gears for my truck. It has the 3.55's right now and it is a dog getting to 60... Question is, will my 17" wheels with 31" tires be alright with the higher gear ratio?

 

Also I have the 5.2 mildly modded

 

i had 33s with mine and it still had some get up. id say ur fine with ur 31s and street tires. but when in doubt go with 4.11s

 

Cool thanks man. Is a salvage yard my best bet on getting the whole rear end with 3.92's already in it?

 

salvage is a good bet or look on craigslist. i have one but i dunno how good of shap its in cuz it was chared in a fire.

 

Just buy the gears and install them.. much easier then searching for something in a junkyard that you probably wouldnt find

 

I looked new gears up and they run $500 and up... I have a buddy that might be able to hook me up at a salvage yard, just have to go look and see if I can find one. But if I could find someone with just the gears for a decent price I would do that instead.

 

Well theres not to many out there. Good luck on the search. Check out the classified section here. There might be some there

 

like i said ill have to go look but the rear end out of my old truck had brand new gears in it, that were 3.92s i just dunno about the pinion seal, it might have to be replaced and then u would have good rear end. but thats quite the load to ship lol

you would be better off tryin to find a off road edition and stealin the rear out of it. had 4.11s in them. or u can find a 2500 i think they had 4.11s in them also

 

Yes I still have them $150 for both sets.
