Squeaked about 6 mph more. I drive this truck 65-68 all day long now.

Well, now to see how it drives. Needs all new rear brakes before it gets driven. I did an add a leaf and an EZ Inch from DIY4X and the tires clear the box cross member but I'll still do some clearancing.

Not really Mike. I'm leaning towards the 465/Ranger combo with this and put the 700 in my flatbed project. Right now it will likely stay as is. I'd like to draw a fair comparison of the gears first.

OK, the deal was struck. In a few weeks my M1008 with the Dodge contact bed with have duals with a cab/chassis 14 bolt.

Thanks guys, much great info. I am aware of the similarities of the chassis cab rear. One of my options is to relocate the backing plate mounts and use the CC hubs. If I do this 4.10 swap, I will swap entire axle assemblies with a friend. Costs will be minimal unless I find issues in the...

The main reason I am drawn to this is to get the cab/chassis rear end. It's already 4.56 and I know what I have. I have also owned an M1009. Power and acceleration between the 3.08 and 4.56 can't be compared.

Tire initially will be 235/85R16 but later will be 255/85R16. I've crunched the numbers on the swap. I'm only concerned about the loss of pulling power with my beloved but anemic 6.2. I think I am going to try it. If it isn't what I thought, I'll swap everything to the flatbed project.

I have an opportunity to select either gear ratio for my contact converted M1008. I would normally advise folks to just stay with the 4.56 but there are other factors pulling me towards the swap. At 2800rpm, I would gain 6 MPH. My concern is losing acceleration and towing capacity. Has anyone...
