I didn't get my 09 in my 64 this year,
but its waiting patiently, even though I'm not. ( patient, that is ) Any way, in the mean time, I'm looking to change the rear gears, in a spare pumpkin, that I have. What I found out was, there's not a very big selection for us 55-64 guys. Summit now has a 3:73 instead of a 3:70 and a 4:11. By summer gas will be $4.00 a gal. So I guess a 4:11 is out. I seem to have read somewhere that the 3:70 R&P was junk. Is the Richmond 3:73 a better choice? I think I'd be happy with a 3:55, but can only get them with a 25 spline pinion. That doesn't help us 17 spline guys. Not only are we truck motor lovers, we're splineless too.

Well worth the money at the pump. I would recommend, however, if you do any long distance driving or freeway driving to stay away from the 4.11 unless you have an overdrive. I believe a 3.55 would be a great driver gear.
I probably will go with the 3:55. It's funny. The most popular ones, 3:08, 3:36, 3:55's, 3:73 cost the most. The 4:11, 4:56 and 4:88 are more than $ 100.00 cheaper. The laws of supply and demand prevail.
