    My DIY differential gear change

    For anyone who stumbles into this VERY old thread, I haven't been able to figure out how (or taken the time) to replace the missing photos, but I still have them. PM if you're interested. Cheers, Bryan

    My DIY differential gear change

    Thanks guys, makes sense. ViperJeff, if you think there's value in resurrecting this thread, I'll gladly take the offer to help replace the photos. Please PM me when you get a chance (obviously no rush!) Bryan

    My DIY differential gear change

    I was going to edit this thread and fix all the broken photo links (thanks again, Photobucket!), but can't seem to find any edit buttons. Perhaps I'm doing something stupid... or perhaps the thread is now too old to be editable? Anyone know?

    Have anybody used partsrack to buy 3.55 gears from them?

    Ditto -- got a set from him years ago and they've held up no problem. I did a write-up on the whole process, in case you're interested. Bryan

    transmission/rear end lube

    Agreed that it's pricey but I personally go with the Mopar fluids. Too much going on inside those components (power-wise) to try to save a few bucks. Just my opinion...

    3.55 gears ?

    I forget the exact reason, but from when I was looking at this before, I think it might have to do with the ring gear diameter. Could well be wrong, though...

    Differential issues 2003 SRT

    +1. In addition to looking at the oil, see if you can sneak a small rare-earth magnet up into the driver side drain hole, pushing it along the bottom of the case and forward an inch or two. Pull it back out (with the string you previously attached to it) and if you have chunks of gear teeth on...

    Help! Broke 2 wheel studs

    From memory, I believe the factory spec for my '05 is 90 ft-lbs. Any idea how much torque you were using?

    3.55 gears in a gen 3

    Not bad at all. It's a 2 week DIY project (search on "my diy differential" if you want to see the sausage being made), so $300 is cheap if you trust that shop. I changed mine over to 3.55 and love the gearing now!!

    WaveTrac Diff what fluid?

    Unitrax (where I bought my Wavetrac) recommended OEM fluid, which I'm using without problems (though only 3k miles so far...) The only thing to bear in mind is that you don't add the friction modifier...

    My DIY differential gear change

    Now that it's been a few months, I wanted to share some thoughts on the new differential. I've already mentioned that the gear change (to 3.55) is pure pleasure, and I continue to believe that. I would never want to go back, at least for my style of driving. The change from stock diff to the...

    Differential on Gen IV

    I have no complaints so far -- runs quiet, seems to do a great job of putting power down, etc., but I will also add that I haven't pushed it very hard yet. It only recently got warm enough here to support some aggressive driving, so now I need to get out there and do some of that... : )

    Yes you do. Here's where those bad things came from: Replaced with a new Wavetrac and all is now good! :)

    Differential on Gen IV

    FWIW, the driver side plug is the lower of the two (internally) and should be the only one you need to remove in order to drain. You might get an additional thimble-full out of the passenger side plug after draining the first one...
