    I have been looking at regearing the rear from 4:88's to a 4:10. Got some good info here and finally found someone to do the job. He has a good rep. and is wanting $1,500.00 to get it done. New Ring and Pinion, Carrier, Bearings and Pinion Seal. R & R included. Does this sound like a good price?

    Regearing advatages??

    I am looking to reduce the rpm's I am running at cruising at higher speeds, 65/70 and hopfully save some fuel. With the 488 gears I am running at 2500+ rpm at 65 mph. If I was to change to 410's would I see a substantial decrease in engine speed and in turn fuel economy?

    DIY AFE ??

    I have read the DIY for the stock air filter replacement, but it seems like everyone is using a Fleet or NAPA filter element. Is there a reason that you would not use an AFE washable air cleaner instead? It seems that over the long haul you would be $$ ahead with the cost of repalcement filters...

    F450 vs F 550
