THE BEST MOD EVER (no seriously)
DISCLAIMER: ALL RESULTS ARE BASED ON TESTS AFTER 600 MILES OF BREAK IN TIME OK !
Anyways bout 2 months ago I finally got the chance to put new gears in the truck. Best mod ever. The truck is alive now it moves out good and will actually hold hills and pull trailers in overdrive its epic. I recently pulled about 7800 pounds while battleing a headwind and the truck pulled the trailer at 65 mph no sweat. Anyone wanting to do towing with a 2500 HEMI should seriously consider this mod or hell if you have bigger tires or you just feel like it **** it just do it. Enough of what I have to say here are a few (grainy) pics of my install.

They are quality gear brand 4.56's
I did not do this completely alone though I did drain the fluid pull the rear shafts,
pulled the carriers front and rear, un did the steering crosslink, pulled the front rotors off, pulled the bearings, pulled the front shafts and pulled the pinions and recorded front and rear rotational torque on the pinions. Then re assembled the above. For the rest I helped a mechanic/friend wth the rest so it was an amazing learning experience and with given time I feel I could do this job again alone. But yeah what an awesome mod it made this truck go from meh to my most enjoyable vehicle to drive

I agree, Gears are the best mod to date and every truck I ever get the first thing I do will be gears.
