I agree, my wife's '06 Caravan pulls half a length on me from a stop. I quickly leave her but it's such a shame that a mini van has more take off. I'm really only impressed with the 75-100 pulls this ratio will do. It kind of reminded me of how my Cummins felt when the boost came on. If I didn't know better, I'd swear this Hemi was a 2 stroke; nothin', nothin', BAM.

I would wait on the Diablo tuner. After that, if you still need more punch from the start go with 4.10's with stock tires, or 4.56's if you plan to go larger. I had gears done on my 2000 with new clutch packs for $1800.

Moe's Performance and Ram Air have some pretty good package deals for the front/rears and install kits.

Don't fear to re-gear. The only people who post about high rpms, gas mileage and top end losses are the ones who've never done it!
At 70 mph, I'm tach'ng about 400 rpm over where I was with the stock 3.92s and stock tires.
Personally, if I were either had 20" wheels, were going to larger tires, towed or hauled, I'd go with 4.56s off the bat.
If you currently have 3.92s, don't even consider 4.10s, would NOT be worth the cost, not enough performance increase to justify the cost...


Cost to do my truck with 4.56s front and rear, install kit, Auburn LSD and labor was just a hair over $1400 in 2005 at 4 Wheel Parts. Their original quote was $1800 WITHOUT the LSD, so you can work these guys!
I have a local shop here in Fla. will do the work for $600 an axle. Ring and Pinion, Install Kit and Labor for anyone I send there. Just have to add the price of the LSD...

Well I have 3.55s and I'd be doing it for assistance towing (especially off the line) and some more traction up a steep wet boat ramp with 5,000+ lbs of boat behind me.
