I changed the axle in my rig from the bad one to the good one. The bad one had a gear ratio of 3.9 to 1 or in other words it took 3.9 revolutions of the engine to make one revolution of the wheels. The new axle had a gear ratio of 4.1 to 1. My rig had a 4 speed in it. After the change I found my top speed was about 58 miles per hour. I was able to get up to 60 but she was really top ended at that speed, petal to the floor. In my humble opinion you really need a 5 speed transmission if you put a 4.1 to 1 rear end and axle in. Or you could change the gear in the one ton rear end to a 3.9 or there abouts. I did a speedometer check, my speedometer was dead on.

Thanks to the person who e-mailed me a lead on a Sunrader for sale in Las Vegas. It had a million miles on it so I passed it up. I'm still looking and getting less picky as time goes on.

Did you change the good one's gears back to 3.9:
and did the gears from the bad one fit the good
one?

If you changed them over, how does it drive now?

No I didn't change back to a 3.9 ratio. During my trip I decided I would put
in a 5 speed tranny. I thought that would be the better fix. I was trying to
really restore my rig to showroom condition untill I got all busted up buy
the drunk who hit me. I'm in insurance company limbo at this point.

I don't know if you could take the large gear out of bad rear end and put it
in the true 1 ton.

Could one of the more knowledgeable mechanics on the list post the name of
that large gear. I want to say pinion gear but I think that's wrong.

Well I wonder if I am going to be facing the same thing as I am in the process of replacing the axle in my 85 Huntsman 4spd with a 91 floating out of a 5spd, v6?
