Thanks for the polish tip. Gonna save my money and get a 3.92. First
quote I got was $420 for ring and pinion and $34 per side for bearings
and bearing cups - total $488. I'll look through the archives for
alternative manufacturers of gear sets - Lance had a strong opinion on
a set. Found it in my saved Dak messages:
*****************************
Precision makes the best gears for Dakotas. I've seen too many
Richmonds and other brands die in our stock rear ends... They make a
3.91:1 ring gear and pinion..
Part number C83/391 -Ring & Pinion
Part number C83/KIT - Installation kit
Hope that helped...

Tate,
Its a special blend made for marking windshields. Most speed shops
carry it,
or you can get it from Summit or Jegs.
I forgot you had a 5 speed. The 3.92 should be fine, but it will just
make
you want a 4.10. You will need to practice at launching. Find the
right
combo and stay there. I like the automatic set up for bracket racing.
But I
started out with a 4 speed Super Bee years ago. I know the feeling of
lost
traction. I really think of you could dispose of a little low end
(add ram
air), and add it to the top end you would do fine with the 3.90 or
4.10's.
Yes, the sure grip will make a big difference. But while you have
that done
get the gears too.
Hope this helps..................BTW, smoke'em on Wed night (Amateur
night)
for another $50 bones.....They never learn................
