Rear end swap
#11
Just thought I'd update you guys...
The axle is installed and everything is working flawlessly! I am amazed at the difference in performance! Put it to the floor and it'll whip your head back
I knew the power was there, but just wasn't getting put to the ground with those wimpy 3.55's... Now... These 3.92's have unleashed the beast! It's also posi-trac, so it has unbelievable traction now!
Would I recommend it? Heck yes I would!! If you want some good performance gains, this is the thing to do, get you some 3.92's!

the later models, i think 98+ take the speedo signal from the rear diff tone ring. this causes no speedo effect on a gear change, but it is affected by tire size.
the computer measures the revolutions of the rear end ring, and then uses revs-per-mile and time to calculate speed and distance.
the earlier models with the plastic gear in the transmission are affected by both gear ratio and tires.
- the simplest test for speedo accuracy is to run the highway at exactly 60 mph and verify you pass the mileage markers at exactly 60 second intervals.
