    i drive in 4 all the time and it doesnt give me any trouble. flat roads with little wind or downhill and i use 5th. i have felt zero need to regear for 35s but everyone has different opinions.

    You mean our Kit??

    The kit was fine. Your CV boot popped off and you freaked out because there was axle grease every where. You then got made at us for not picking you up when you were stranded.

    When you finally got your truck to us, we went over everything and it was fine.

    You blamed our kit but not your installer because Brett King suggested him and he doesn't mess up?? Ok

    It's in the past.

    Good luck on your next build!

    yes i do. they stay reasonable in 4 because it isnt constantly locking the tc to accelerate. ill remember to take a look at the exact temp next time i drive but its ~190° off the top of my head.

    He still says he thinks we talked about it and I decided to keep 4.88 even though I can prove with messages and phone records that’s not the case. Says he’ll take care of it tho so we’ll see

    for the most part. only time i had it reach anywhere above 210 was trying to pull another truck over some rocks while he was winching on the last trip. i was sliding back so i held the gas to give some pull.

    You really need a supercharger. Mine rips with 3.73s and 33s. Going up to 4.56s, 35s and a little bit more boost. I can eat both gens of Raptors for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They always get their feelings hurt when they can't catch me on the trails and/or dunes.
