Installed 4.88 Gears in my 2016

I just got the 4.88s for my Tacoma.

I won't be installing them for a few weeks, but I'll be sure to post up when I get them installed.

 

Thanks man..

 

I'll be doing them in the spring. I can't have the truck down right now due to weather. Have to have something to drive

 

Couldn't find any 4.30s or actually want the 4.88s now?

 

No one I've talked to has 4.30 parts out of a wrecked truck. And I'm not paying 3x as much for new Toyota parts

 

Do you have an auto or manual?

 

Auto.

 

Thanks. Definitely interested in hearing your experience once you get it installed!

 

How are the people with manuals still liking the gears? What tire size are you running? What are the RPMS like at 70 in 6th gear?

 

I'm happy with them I'm running to 265/75 and think the 430 is a good match. I'm exactly 2500 rpms at 75 mph.

 

So your running 4.30's or 4.88's.

 

I've got the manual with 4.30 gears and stock tires. The gearing is fine. Fun to drive. 2300 rpm at 70 in 6th give or take.

On a side note, my truck averages 19 mpg with mixed city and highway driving. Not bad for a truck rated for 17/19. It drops significantly at around 75 mph though.

 

430. no need to go to 488 with 265/75s in my opinion. I think it has a lot to do with the manual transmission gearing as well.

 

Monday, Monday, Monday !!!!!
All parts are in!!!
Hoping my truck begins to feel like a truck!

 

265 / 75 - 16?

 

Yes.

 

any ideas how much these would be to have installed? i am fairly mechanically inclined, but i am nervous about performing this type of work on a brand new truck. Im wanting to eliminate the constant gear hunting while cruising at highway speeds. thanks

 

There's been more than a few people who mentioned install prices here.

 

You can expect the whole job parts and labor to run you in the neighborhood of $1800 - $2000 said and done

 

Thank you!
