Hey dirty, check you PM's. Just noticed you are from Casper... dont see to many here from wyoming, we are few and far between!

 

About what's the cost for a shop to regear both ends?

 

I could not say what a shop will charge. I have a friend who is a mechanic and did the job for me at a fraction what I would have paid a shop. He only wanted my to pay him 350 for both ends to get done so that is all I had to pay.

 

How do you get 17 mpg highway? U running a 4.7? because I am getting about 11.5 with a hemi w/ 20" rims stock.

 

...i run 4.56's with the factory 20's... at 65 on a flat hiway I can get about 20.5mpg...when I'm a little aggressive I can get 17mpg at 85mph.... and true, can't tell where the top end drop off would be cuz it will still pull hard after 120mph (speedo limit)

 

Ive never got 11 or even close to that low before. I am acutally getting better than 17 now with the 4.10s. About 17.6 and I do have the 5.7 hemi. I am like chef, i could prolly get closer to 20 if I didnt drive aggressive.

 

i heard that...along with our gears came the lead shoes that came with them...lol...we just love feelin that quick launch...it feels like our trucks are half the weight they really are...

 

hey everyone I have an 2003 2500 quad cab 4x4 and I have magnaflow catback, hyperteck programmer, talor shorties, kn intake kit.
I have stock 4.10 gears and at30000 miles or so I had all the fluids changed in the trans diffs and the plugs changed out. I only get about 15 miles to the gallons running 75 to 90 miles an hour. And in town which is 60% of my driveing I get about 9 to 12 depending on how i drive it. The last few months it seems my gas m is getting worse, just had it to the dealership to get the front driver axle shaft replace and they said everything else is fine. It runs great. But i was just wondering if anyone has some ideas, i thought maybe the gas i have been useing. My friend has an 04 quad cab hemi 1500 4x4 and he says he get better gas mi on 87 octane from a small mobile station in town that does not contain ethonal. I use 89 octane from a bp neat the interstate, cause round here they one of two gas station the offer 89 as there low octane. Anyone have some ideas. Thanks

 

try some injector cleaner and check your plugs. we had some really bad quality gas up here for a while and after i pulled mine i was shocked. im back to get around 19 hwy now with my 4.7
