Strange S60 Ease of Gear Swap?
I posted this in the Gears/Axles forum a few days ago but got zero responses so I figured I would try my luck here!
How hard is it to swap gears in my Strange S60? It currently has 4.10s in it but I am debating going to a higher (numerically lower) gear like 3.54 or 3.73 since I now do a lot more highway and cross country driving than I did when I got the rear. Since I know nothing about working on the drivetrain, what would I be looking at to have a shop do this??

When looking for a shop to do it you may want to call a few 4x4 shops, they may be more familiar with working on Dana 60 diffs than many performance or repair shops. I'd leave it if I were you, you'll only drop you highway cruising rpm 2-300rpm doesn't seem to be worth the trouble.
