**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

Sounds like I missed a good one.

 

Ya the post was titled "Post up your donked 3rd gens"

 

i wonder if the mod owned one of those trucks. Lol

 

Ha, those are some interesting rigs

 

Well, I'll have some 285 STT pros here Wednesday

 

$947.00

 

...

 

@Tretiak30 do you use overdrive when your on the highway....I was cruising at 65 in 4th at 2500 just seeing how it is without OD in...I'm assuming the rpm's would be a hair lower with 315's?

Or am I thinking backwards?

 

RPMs would be a hair lower....but its typically not a ton lower depending on gear.

RPM= (MPH x GEAR RATIO x 336) / Tire Diameter.

I like how mine drives without OD. If I am not going to break 60, or maybe touch it for a minute, like between slow highway spots, Ill just keep the stick in 4 instead of D. Its too happy to drop it into OD and RPM drops to like 1200...no thanks lol

 

Ya I drive around town without the od in because of how happy it is to go in it...

 

Makes me want one of those Sprint Boosters to really get it going...but a set of gears would probably do the same.

 

Ya but man are gears expensive...I just trying to see if I'll be ok for a year.

 

Youll be fine. Sure there will be traffic situations and whatnot that annoy you, but tons of people run 35s with stock gears.

 

I hang out in OD or D all the time. RPMs are usually like 2200 for me at about 70ish

I'm regearing next month with LT though

 

Roger that....I was just curious...I know you've been on stock gears awhile with 315's...needed the comfort haha

 

My truck hates 6th gear at highway speed. Runs 2100 rpm at 75mph in 5th. G8 runs 2000rpm at 80-85, with 2.92's. lol

 

Yeah, it hasn't been bad at all, but the truck hates me on the slightest incline. I'll be going to 4.88s and lockers but for most who DD their truck and don't wheel as much, I hear 4.56 is the way to go.

 

I'm waiting on some people to total a manual TRDOR 3rd gen. Comes with 4.30's

 

Only 2017+

 

2017+ what? all manual 3rd gens are 4.30. But I want the locker to remain intact so has to be offroad model or PRO
