3.73 to 4.10 gears

[CBrabec]

I want to switch from 3. 73 to 4. 10 gears and was wondering if anyone has done this and recommends a brand or has part numbers to witch i can order from. I was thinking about looking at jegs or northern automotive catalogs to order my stuff. I have a guy who can install the parts, I just need to order them. Any help is appreciated.

Ring | Pinion | Gear | Sets I ordered some Chevy gears from these folks some time back, don't know if they have what you want or not. bg

I'll check that site. Actually, I just looked at jegs online & I'm not exactlly sure what I should look for. I went under the drivetrain section and all I could find was under the differential they had " limited slip & lock ups" and that's not what I need. Then there was a ring & pinion section. Would it be under that?

Call west coast differentials. I've dealt with them in the past and had good service. I've used several different brands of gears in the past. Precision gears were the best. Genuine and Yukon were the worst. (just my opinion) OEM gears are always a great option... especially for a street truck.

You can also look at Welcome to Complete Off Road I bought some gear sets from Mike and was very happy with price and shipping.

Ring and pinions for the axle that your truck has, are they Dana 70's? bg

Find someone to trade with. I'd do it if you lived closer.

I don't know. All I know is that the mag-hytec diff cover for the rear said AAM 11. 5 so that's what I was looking for and saw nothing on the websites I looked at. Jegs & Northern Auto only showed Dana gears. My truck is currently in a shop having some injectors fixed, & I would like to order these gears and have them installed while the truck is down. Since my truck is in the shop & I don't have axcess to it, is there anything else I need to know when I go to order a set from a manufactor? I believe the front is 9. 50", right?

You may have the early 03 10. 5 rear if 2500, all 3Gen Rams are 9. 50 AA front.

I checked the box my hytec cover came in and it said AA14-11. 5a, so it's not the 10. 5. I'll make some calls today & i'm sure the manufactors will know what I need.

I did the 3. 73 to 4. 10 swap. I purchased oem gears because i heard they were the best option. approx 50,000 mi on the gears no problems. Sorry no part #s.

 

[CBrabec]

Did you call your local dealership for them? Do you remember how much they cost you?

 

[CBrabec]

I called a bunch of places today, & I'm going with West Coast Differentials. They had the best prices and were the only ones who had the parts in stock. Thanks everyone for your input.

No i had coast differentials put them in I dont remember how much. I heard randys ring and pinion had good prices though too.
