That exhaust looks pretty good, is that what your running on your truck? What size tips are those on your truck?

The AFE Mach Force is what I had installed at the time I had the lift kits installed.Very good exhaust system,with no in-cab resonance,like the dreadful droan of the Flowmasters.Overall,I liked the AFE system,but then I wanted louder.So,now I have the CherryBomb 12" glasspack(3" single inlet/outlet),attached a 3" inlet and dual 2-1/4" outlet y-pipe to the glasspack,and had 2 new 2 1/4" tailpies ran out the back with Magnaflow 5" double wall,angle cut,rolled edge,ss tips.If you like an agressive exhaust note,without the sound of open headers,this is fabulous!Although,not everyone likes an agressive exhaust.Back to topic:The AFE is a straight through design,with a perforated core,offering full flow,with some noise cancellation.If I ever get tired of the agressive exhaust note,I will just re-install my AFE exhaust.

The 3.92 gears ran $900. The lsd ran $470. Labor was only $350. The 4.10 gear set was $1100. So with all the highway miles i run, i decided to keep the extra $200 and go with the 3.92.

The shop i went to said they havent put gears in a dodge for about 4 years. They told me the oem parts have went way up, because they have found out they make the only quiet gear out there for dodge.

Make sure you take it easy and break in the new gears as recommended. You don't want to have to go through that again !
