It seams to be a popular way to go, there are a lot of Die hard 3rd Gen truck guys on Hemitruckclub.com might want to hang out there for a day or 2.

I've read and talked to a lot of 3rd gen truck guys who swear by changing the rear over to 4.56s

.01 over 5.7 (3.927) with a 4.05 stroke is a 392.42CI , Lots of those builds out there. .



Ramforumz.com or Tuned Rams on Facebook are also great sources of information.

4.56 gears alone woke up my Crew Cab with the 65RFE trans and its less than desirable gear spacing. In conjunction with a Hemifever tune and loosening up the torque management, it flies now and runs consistent mid to high 13s on all terrain tires and full weight (5900 lbs). JBA headers are about to go on, and a 3000 Edge Converter as well for the hunt for low 13s, or high 12s with drag radials.

With my 265/70/17 rear tires, 75 mph is still a very acceptable 2450 rpm with the 4.56s.

2016 Ram 1500 Crew Cab: 5.7, 65RFE, 4.56 gears with locker, Hemifever tuned, AFE intake, 87mm throttle body, JBA headers, 3" Flowmaster exhaust, split to dual 2.5" exits. 13.57 best ET so far.
