    Default New rear - Will need a list of things to do

    I am having a 9" rear professionally installed in the T/A with 3.55 gears. The installer asked if I wanted him to reprogram it for me and I told him, "NO". As I plan to buy FlashScan on the 3rd.

    Now, my question is... what exactly do I need to do? Should I download the eval to practice or will this be relitively painless?

    You should have no problems changing gears ratios with flash scan, I’ve programmed a 01 T/A with flash scan and it’s worked great…

    In FlashScan, changing your speedo to read correctly is simply done by changing 2.73 to 3.55 in the speedometer table.

    Now to go figure out my shift points. I used to know where there was an online calculator for optimizing shifts based on torque....

    Here is one
