I have a set of 3.21s to install, I am positive they will give me better highway MPG.


Interesting, my scanner would stay at 60 then going down a hill would creep to 61 but rpm would go down to 1888. All over the place. I'm thinking the converter is not locking up to well (all new parts, electrical and trans). Will the lockup fluctuate 100 rpm?
I have a set of 3.54 for the Dana that I would like to try. Talked to the Dodge service man, he said no problem reflashing pcm for the ratio change.


Dont waste money taking it to the dodge dealer for a "flash" after a ratio change, the vehicle speed is measured after the gears and will not affect anything computer related changing gears.

What about the speed sensor on the trans (where the old speedo cable went)?
