Ordering Gears..

[ChaseN]

I'm wanting to order some 3.73 gears for my 1500.

Help me out please.

Make it simple for me to order haha, just let me know what rear-end do i have and what front end?

 

Is it 8.25, 8.5, etc.

 

also, do i need to order near bearings, also, or should i be able to use all of my old stuff with it only having 7k miles on the original parts??

 

thanks!!

Most likely 3.42's.........3.08's were also available but the others are most popular and can be foung in more trucks.

I am 99% sure you are correct. Was researching all that for myself a while back, and I knew it all then, but I deleted that file.

That kit would work. You won't need everything from the master bearing kits if you are not changing the differential (i.e. installing a locker). You only really need the pinion bearing (because it is pressed on and I don't think you should press a bearing off and on another component), crush ring and maybe a shim kit. Having the other stuff on hand won't hurt though. When I did my gear swap I bought from Randy's Ring and Pinion. Good website at the time to help you figure out what you need.

Awesome, thanks. Guess I'll be ordering in a couple weeks. Wheels and tires and amp steps broke the budget lol.
