How hard is it to replace the rear end gears in a Dakota? I have the 3.21 and want to change to the 3.55s. Is it possible to do it at home if you have the right tools? Thanks for the help.

As long as its usually the same price why no just get the 3.92 gears. You will feel quite the diffrence. I have a friend back home that changed the gears in the front and back of his bronco with out a problem. Everything will work diffrently for everyone. Ask a local mechanic because I rember hearing something about setting backlash. Oh and I also heard something about it throwing off your speedometer but I'm not sure how true that is.

it will throw off your speedometer cause the wheels are spinning at a differenet speed than what its calibrated for just take it to the dealer and have it re calibrated for the right rear end
