Yeah it was BS. The PK/RD wire is suppose till have power constantly and it didn't,. Only when I fiddle with the switch and got the park lights to come on, and both sides of the fuse tested good. Turns out it was a false positive lol

Default Gear Ratio Opinions

Should I go with 5.13 or 6.17 gears in the 2500 axles?

Looks like 5.13s, or 5.29's would be right in the ballpark to keep RPM's 'stock' with 45's.......

Please post pictures when you get those 45’s on lol.

If you upgrade to bigger gears doesnt that take a toll on ghe differential or is that just the tire size?

45’s are going to look awesome...

I will! It doesn't take a toll on n the diff as in longevity. I have to cut the fenders, once that happens and I get regeared and get my beadlocks I'll order the tires.
