Chandler's Battleship of Doom

Yeah, If I had to buy a rear locker it wouldn't even be a question because I'm not spending 1800 at once just for lockers

 

Well if I ever get to 37s Ill be regearing again, I'm going with 456

 

wait why not 4.88's??

 

You're getting ~17-18 mpg at 50 mph?

 

Low RPM's and flat roads

 

Cause it's a DD I'm going with 4.56 myself

 

That's good considering stick gearing and 35's

 

I already know Ill hate 488, 456 runs slightly higher than stock so I thats where I want to be not any lower. Have to remember I drive anywhere from 50-2000 miles one way for work, If I'm going to be revving that high on the highway I might as well have stock gears and drive in 4th

 

Is that what you drive in now is 4th?

 

Yup, and if I were to re gear I shouldn't have an issue seeing the mpg around 65-70 hopefully

 

Nice.

 

If its windy and some hills and driving 70 yup, it has a hard time staying in 5th around that speed because the rpm is soo low. Now 80-85 I can get it to stay in 5th no problem, Basically get used to driving fast on the highway or drive a slow enough speed in 4th so your not revving 3-4k. Or follow a semi on the highway, I've found my mpg goes up doing that but finding a truck going the speed i want is the issue

 

Manual? I thought you was auto

 

He is, I literally just checked. Thought the same thing you are

 

Im auto, you can still choose the highest gear

 

Mind

 

L(1),2,3,4,H(5) But it only limits the highest gear, So being in 4 prevents the transmission from going into 5th. So being on the highway where the transmission is jumping between 4th and 5th, especially in cruise just put it in 4 until you think the truck can pull its weight in 5th constantly without downshifting every min

 

Gotcha. I know the tundras can shift while driving down the road can ours?

 

Yes but not the way you are probably thinking of. If you start in L you can just keep shifting up the line until H if you wanted, and do down as well. Some times on a 2 lane ill downshift to pass someone so I'm ready to go soon as I have a chance, I hate when you accelerate too much and the computer tells it go way down low so it downshifts into 3rd and right away runs out of revs so it goes back into 4th.

 

I see what you're saying.
