New Gears and LSD

[Fierdon]

I want to get 3.42s with LSD for my car, I believe it has 3.08s now. Is this what I would need? http://slponline.com/view_product.asp?PARTNUMBER=64501T What else (besides the gears) would I need? And is it an easy install or should I get someone to do it for me. Also, dont I have to get my chip reprogrammed?

Yeeup...that's the correct LSD..

You will also need to purchase the install kit, and an ABS reluctor ring if you mind losing your ABS.

You do not NEED to get your PCM reprogrammed. Your speedo will be off, but you won't lose any of the performace you gain from the gears without reprogramming.

As far as the install goes,,if you know your stuff, then give it a shot. It is not an intermediate job to do though.

Don't forget: Not just the speedo will be off, but the Odometer will be getting false readings also. That means it will show more miles than you actually have when you move from 3.08 to 3.42 ratio gears.

Shift points will be off as well. I just went through this and you will need some kind of recalibrating.....

You have 3.23 gears. All 3.4 fbods have them. I would suggest 3.73 gears. They aren't as bad on mileage as everyone thinks, plus there wont be much of a differance between 3.23 and 3.42

If you want your speedo to read correct then yes. I haven't reprogrammed my car yet. My gears/LSD have been installed for a few months now. The speedo is 10mph fast.
