Can I swap these gears over?
Hi, I picked up a chrysler 8.25 to replace my dana 35 with. I have determined that the 8.25 has 3.55 as gears. My problem is my dana 35 doesn't say exactly which gears are in it. I checked a while ago and the numbers were 46/13 (which divides to 3.53846). Can I run the chrysler rear end with 3.55 with my old ratio of 3.53846 up front? Is the 3.53846 actually 3.55 or 3.54?
Thanks.
Thanks.

you can run mis-matching gears as long as they are within 1-2% of each other i.e. 3.54/3.55 or 4.88/4.89 etc.....do not run anything more than that i.e. 3.07/3.55 = bad news bears for your t-case
