Took the car on a 200 mile trip yesterday &amp; it made me make up my mind on the 3.55 3.73 problem bouncing arround in my mind so after running for 100 miles at 90+ i realized I drive to damn fast. &amp; my choice is 1) drive slower 2) put a quieter exhaust on the car or 3) go with the 3.55's as option 1 &amp; 2 are not viable I chose option 3 cant wait to loose the lazy 2.73's </P>


p.s Anyone go fron 2.73'sto 3.55's what does it feel like in the butt dyno</P>

I am thinking I'll get some 3.73s. Is there a big problem though if i have the RAM stock replacement clutch and a 5 speed? I'm pretty sure it'll be honky dory, but need some of you with experience. Ayudame por favor.

I am no mechanic - but this car doesn't appear hit at all. It goes to my mechanic tomorow for te final say. The paint is so-so. His girlfriend got pissed a him and put a dent in the left rear quarter with her fist. The interior is immaculate.</P>
