Who installed your gears? Been thinking about doing this, but I heard the install is really expensive.

Where do you get replacement gears? Dealer? Aftermarket?

i ordered them thru moe's performance. they are oem mopar gears. another question to those who have done the gear swap. my dash fuel economy meter was showing around 13.5 before the gear swap. now im getting anywhere between 11.9-12.2 in town. i reset it and drove around for a week before and i have driven around for a week and its about 1.5 mpg lower??? i figured it would go up. maybe it did, i havent hand calculated it. is this common for yall who have swapped yalls 4th gen?

I'm sure your speedometer is off with the new gears. It thinks that you have different sized tires on it now. It doesn't know the difference. Without a way to accurately adjust your speedo I would imagine that your mileage will not be accurate.

No I went through randys automotive in Washington. I bought the gears and the Lsd for the rear that was cut and dry. Now for the front you can do it yourself. But mine is lifted I don't think the 2008 front differential will fit a stock truck.

Took about a week but that is because I was identifing and locating parts as needed. But I would say if I had everything it would be about 2 days

Do you know about the ring gear in the front differential that's why we're limited to the stock 355,392,410s. mine is a 13 and I feel horrible ripping the front apart. I needed a 2008 front differential, axel cv, drive shaft but to get the gears that's what we need lol. Is your ram a 4x4? If not then you can get away with gears for the rear only a little more simple.

I'm fairly new to this conversation topic. It's a 4x4. I was under the impression that if you swap your rear for a OEM size that you can leave the front alone. Is that false?
