I have purchased the 4.10:1 but not installed them yet. I considered the
3.92:1 but the supercharger will give enough boost for the high end but I
wanted more low end ump. The difference of the 3.55 to 3.92 is less than
11.05 percent gain . The difference between the 3.55 and the 4.10 is a 15.94
percent.
May I make a suggestion: I used the dealer to change the oil for a purpose.
Check all fluids, pack any joints, and let know if anything is leaking.
Sometimes it is well worth the 21.00 to have a dealer change the oil. I
especially love the Chevy dealer. Never have I seen a perfect service
department next to the Dodge dealer I use. Since it is a warranty item,
take it back to the dealer.

#1. Has anyone out there converted there Gen III Dak from 3.55 gears to
3.92?
I am wondering how much of performance boost this gave and what the
MPG hit was....
#2. I think the ball joints in my 99 Dak are going bad (14k mi). She makes
a lot of clunking
noises when turning (normally just when the road is bumpy or going up
an incline)
Is there an easy way to tell if the ball joints are going bad?
I have tried rocking the tire (top and bottom grip) which has little
play but from
left to right is about a 1/4" of movement with the tire off the ground
(driver's side
tire with the passenger side on the ground. No steering linkage
movement).
Thxs in advance
