Welcome to the DML, Ron.

If you are saying that you are wondering if the R/T gearing components can
be switched into your truck, then I would think no. The rear end in your
truck is a 8 1/4" while the R/T one is a 9 1/4". Aftermarket rings and
pinions which would get you 3.90 are available.

For your future mods, I would suggest that you set some type of measurable
goal that you want to attain (specific et, hp, low end or high end torque,
sleeper, etc.) before justing add the latest fad mods on an individual
basis.
