Phil, My car was gone through pretty well before I bought it. It has the Mopar Performance sure-grip with a 2.94 gear for the stock 8 1/4. I believe that is what the M-body (Diplomat) cop cars used. It's a pretty nice compromise. The car is so heavy that it's no rocket, but it moves out pretty well and isn't spinning to tight on the highway. I may eventually go to 3.55 from a Dakota depending on if I ever add overdrive or change the way I use the car.
