Re: High gear ratio w/ M20 & 5.3 Drivability

Look around for a used differential....my brother sold a good 3.73, for a 100 doller bill! On that cruiser, you dont need to build a brand new diff.....Pick the one (proper ratio), with no lube dripping. You might do axle bearings & seals, just for pc of mind. But hear is the thing....if you are not racing the truck, you dont need a 9" Ford, or anything built (money) Best of fun....Longhorn
