Default Gears ready for install

My gears finally came in and I can't wait to get them installed. I debated for months on what ratio to get and after many PM's and a lot of reading I decided to go with 3.73's. With as much highway driving I do I figured these would be the best all around gear for my application. Plus I plan on staying NA. I got the whole set up from LMR for 260.00. Gears, installation/bearing kit, 2 bottles of gear oil and a bottle of friction modifier. I am hoping to get these installed in the next week or so. Then my next big mod will be cams, but that won't be until close to the end of the year.

Nice!! I have the same exact stuff sitting in my basement right now! except i went with redline gear oil (its all the same sh*t) and 75w140 viscosity oil instead of the 75w90. I was reading that they made the switch in 2001 to 75w140 and that they recommend the 75w140 now.. So idk. I'm sure you'll be fine with the 75w90.

I also went with the 3.73's.. I have a couple other things sittin around here as well

Yaaaay gears! I was a super happy camper after I did mine. I went a bit shorter though. 5th gear on the T-45 is quite tall so it does fine on the highway. Happy wrenching!
