Re: Prices to regear to lower gears
I replaced the "blown up" D35 rear with a new D44 last year, but didn't have
enuf money to regear the front at the time, so I ran with 3.73 in the rear
and the stock 3.07 in the front. I just couldn't lock it up until I got it
regeared. Now, both front and rear are 3.73 and I'm back in the mud again
