93 Dodge Dakota 8.25 Gear Swap

They can be a little frustrating but, doable with a dial indicator. I'm guessing your going to change the pinion bearing. Grind the old one out so you can slide it on/off when trying shims. The last two I did both took a .003 shim to get it right. I have 4.56 in my Dakota and wish I went with 4.10 only because the rpms run high on the highway.
