[QUOTE=SSminnow;1691566]Th front is a different axle, and depending on what year, should be a Dana60


His axles are AAM. Dana went out long ago.


John

 

Cool. They should still be a different carrier size though, right? I mean, when they were using Dana, it was a 60 up front, 80 outback.

 

11.5 out back and, I think it's called 9.25 in front. Definately different.

John

 

Yeah, that is what I thought. Just making sure. That was my point was when he said he could not find the gear for a "front" AAM 11.5. I was like, well, they won't have a "front" ring and pinion for one. And two, it would be a different axle anyway from the rear of course, not the 11.5

What, '02? Wasn't THAT long ago

 

Actually the breakdown is closer to:
Rear R&P $325.
Rear Master Install Kit $150

Front R&P $223
Front Master Kit $82

Total of $780 in parts and the balance for Labor, oil and shop supplies.

So not as bad as one thinks. They are both AA Axles. Sure you can save $ by doin it yourself, or having it done afterhours somewhere. The important thing to me is the quality of the work, it will be done the same day, and they'll back up the install. Worth every penny in my book.

Thanks for everyones input, ill keep you posted on how it turns out.

 

You found the fronts too? I could not find them! Please post where you found them. I am also very interested in the outcome. It kills me watching and listening to my engine running that fast while cruising down the highway. Plus the fuel economy.

 

Man, I wish the Gear Vendor box was cheaper...

 

I'll let you know when I get the stuff installed; what the source is and the part #'s are.

 

rear; 11.5" aam 30 spline axles no carrier break for any ratio.
yukon part #'s : yg gm11.5-342 for gears, yk gm11.5 for install kit

front: 9.25" reverse rotation aam all ratios fit same carrier.
yukon parts for front: yg gm9.25r-342r, yk c9.25-f, also needed is a ring gear spacer to make up diferance in gm vs dodge gear thick ness #mrg925a

all parts are readly available
$1400 installed is a good price.

 

Your keeping good milage records now so you can compare to the milage you get withthe new gears - RIGHT?

 

Yes, I will post both the before and after results of the gear swap including RPM and Mileage. If its something that works out, I have no problem sharing the results with others. Thanks for everyones input.

 

I kind of thought this before, but if I drive 55mph on flat level areas with the gear vendors on in sixth gear turning 1300 rpms with a dually, I have seen 24.9 on the overhead. How accurate, dont know. Just what I have seen. Suprised the hell out of me. This is a 4x4 as well. Off the subject, filled up the jetta this morning, 688 miles/14.52 gallons of fuel = 47.38 mpg. I love this car.

 

So do they have gears for are trucks or not? I have 410s i would try it. But i cant find gears for are trucks

 

Yes they do.
