Mopar Parts Direct

[Paul Workman]

I'm not sure what I'm looking for to change my rear gear to a 4.09 (4.10). But, a ring and pinion for a 2005 Viper runs $215 from Chrysler Mopar Direct. I wonder if that is the right stuff, and what else should I "put in my basket" to go along with the swap?

TIA,

P.

If I were you I'd go with the Viper 410's.

Paul,
Here is the Mopar part number you need for the Viper 4.10 gears that work with our Dana 44s with 3/8" ring gear bolts:

P5007043

Later Viper Dana 44 ring gears used 7/16" bolts.
Here is a privious thread with some useful info on Viper 4.10 gears:

If you have the right PN $215 is a fantastic price for a set of Viper 4.10s. They usually go for $260 or more plus shipping.
What is the web address for Chrysler Mopar Direct?

It is my understanding that the 4.10 viper gears are now manufactured in China. I would check into it first before buying.
