RE: putting 4.56s in the weekend
moparrtguy- I definitely agree with you on how expensive the install is, but the gears are great. I love the off the line acceleration and it is so beneficial for towing. I heard that installing gears is complex and complicated, so make sure the mechanic is skilled and experienced with gears. Hopefully, you can find a good mechanic in your area that is affordable.

Not to jack the thread or anything but what would be a resonable charge to change out gears? I plan on changing to 4:56 so I talked to a local Cottman transmission shop and to change the front and rear gears with Yukon and put a Auburn limited slip carrier in the rear I was quoted $3000!!! I almost s#*t myself. Now I didnt have him break down parts vs labor but after some checking online the parts only come to $1000. So thats $2000 in labor???? even at $100 per hour (which is very generous) would it would take 20 hours for a professional to complete this job? I think he was trying to rip me off but I could be wrong.
