Diff gear change
I hope I didn't post this twice but when I got done it kicked me to the 6.0 instead of the 7.3 formium. I'm in norco,ca and need a good reliable shop that does gear changes. My son needs to go to 4.30 or 4.56 for his PSD. He tows a 40 foot weekend warrior custom he bought used for the right price. Thing is he didn't figure how heavy it was. He thinks around 16 to 18 thousand pounds. With his 3.73 it ain't doing the job it should. Riverside, Ontario or San Bernadino would be good. God bless and thanks for you Help. I don't think its to hard but I don't want to do my first one on his rig. Chet Oh its a 4x4.

Well, Im sorry for not being able to answer your question, but I want to subscribe to this thread because I too am planning a gear swap when I return from this deployment. I will be anxious to hear how he likes the change so please post back with results. Thanks!

if your talking about 4 wheel parts wholesalers ive bought parts there for 25 years with no problems they are hard to beat . never had them set up a ring and pinion though. i dont think they do that, they will sell the parts or a complete third member or axle assy.

If hes got 38s on his truck or plans to have them then 4:30 are what he needs. 40'' 4:56. But like Matt said if hes on stock tires 4:11s will be fine just kiss some mileage away when hes not towing

Guys thanks, He has 35's on his truck right now. Its the weight he's pulling in that 40 foot toy hauler. I have not had any problem with 4 wheel parts but my boy has and had to take his truck back twice for the same repair on a lift of his 94 ford. He thought about them but wanted to find a regular diff. shop so theres no whine of the gears. His truck is lifted to. He just did alot of engine work now has to take care of gears. 6.0l so we know how that goes. Chet
Oh and mileage non existent with that trailer.
