Can I change my rear end?

I have a 2008 Cummins Mega Cab. How much is involved in changing my rear end to a 4:10?
Thanks

Beside completely removing all of the fliud, axles, ring & pinion, install ring & pinion, set back lash & install rest of parts.

Not bad.

I would make sure that you have the the dial indicator & marking grease handy to do the job right.

If you have never done anything like this, plan on 6 or so hours so that you don't have to rush yourself & you're able to follow the directions as you go.

It's not difficult, it just takes time to do it right.

If you have a 4x4 you will also have to the front as well.

Thanks for your answer....

I'm sure that job is far beyond my technical capability - besides I don't have a place or the tools to attempt it. Will a Dodge dealer do the change or should I take my truck to a good garage? Any idea how much this should cost?
