Hi Joani,
Richmond makes the 3:55 gears for our cars. I dont have any dealer to recommend for special pricing, but if enough people are interested I will check.

This is something I've considered. I'd like to hear a response from Andre on this one for Challygirl.

Challygirl moparsupercenter was working to put together an exchange program / kit to do it. It was also supposed to include a LSD. I have not talked to them in about a month so I am not sure where it stands. If you are interested, I recommend sending an email to Jeff Hunter at Moparsupercenter (jhunter@moparsupercenter.com) to get more details.

Man-up and swap in the whole rear from a 3.92 equipped 6-speed car!
I'd like to see THAT 60-foot time!

May want to check some of the "new" Charger forums as these guys have been facing the same issue for longer. I have read some of the posts a while back and clearly the electronics is the largest stumbling block. Frankly. I would have thought (and perhaps it exists) that the aftermarket might have had a "patch" for that by now.

Yep, checked out Mopar supercenter tonight. You can buy the pumpkin ready to go with 3.55 or 3.23 for $3295.00. You can buy just the gears alone for $599.99, but they warn that custom snap rings are needed and not available anywhere. Maybe Andre has a source idea?

jockomikey,

Did you talk to Jeff or Ted at Moparsupercenter? From what I heard the snap rings may be available from a Benz dealer on the West Coast. I am trying to get more details.
