[VACList] Re: VACList Digest V3 #242 - gear ratio of truck's rear end
Usually the gear ratio is changed by exchanging the entire axle for one having
the desired gear ratio. They are obtained from pre-owned parts suppliers
("junkyards"). Installing replacement gears usually means buying new gears,
disassembling the old axle, and then setting the new gears up in the old axle.
Not a job for the amateur, and expensive as you found.
