Leave it as is for now you'll just be throwing $$$ out the window. Check you CAC and all boots to make sure your not losing any psi?

Not trying to sound like a Richard here, but why would anyone buy a truck with such spec's when hauling general freight?
If you had the truck doing something specialized and needed such spec's and then switched to general freight, I understand.Speed_Drums and Roberts450 Thank this. -
Let’s just say I got it for dirty cheap. Couldn’t backdown on the offer. W900 resale value is incredible and I could sell it for double the price. But am in love with the truck. So will have to deal with the spec.magoo68, Diesel Dave, rbrtwbstr and 1 other person Thank this.

What size tires are on the rears? 24.5 lo pro?
Changing gears gets to be very pricey as others have stated, if your running low pro 24.5’s run them out, and when it’s time to replace tires go with 24.5 high rubber, it will stretch you out a little further for highway cruisin. If you currently have 3.91’s, it will be like running 3.55’s when you go to high rubber -

You plan on keeping it awhile, I suppose. I'd spend the coin for the rears you want. Keep the rears that are in it, and sell them with the truck. Make it enjoyable to run while you have it -
If your already up on high rubber then forget what I said.

I am running 11r22.5, I wish I could run 24.5 but my fifth Wheel Height is the issue. I barely made fifth Wheel Height after changing fifth wheel and tires, because before the tires were 315/80/22.5 and my fifth wheel was 54” had to drop heightLargecar359 said: ↑What size tires are on the rears? 24.5 lo pro?

Your best bet would be a cut off, the last power divider my uncle got for a 463 brand new from Eaton (not reman) was just over 7k, and that was without full locks (just inter) and if i recall there was something funky with certain models where of you had full locks you had to stay witH full, which was just under 10 I believe
