San Antonio

Got one more screen and door to fix, keeps raining when I go out. Might just put it off, and keep everything on the ground, given the storm potential.

 

Yeah that's why I'm trying to find a key for the placard codes. I feel like it will be a wasted effort to order 4.88's and find out I have 4.56's.

Sounds like a good plan. 4.88's and (eventually) 37's should be about perfect. I'll be a bit over geared with the 33's for a while but I don't really care. I'm already averaging 14mpg lol

 

Work really sucks today. I'm ready to go back to bed

 

2nd gens only came available with 3.73 or 4.10 gears, so if you're stock it's one of those.

If I get the 4.88s, it opens me up for slightly overgeared with 35s or near perfect with 37s. I can live with higher revs as right now I'm getting 16-17 mpg highway still and 14.5-15.5 city mpg

 

So pardon my ignorance but what would be the issue with being overgeared? I'm running 33s and would like to regear in future

 

Higher revs generally mean worse gas mileage and more wear on components.

 

thank you, so I should probably just stick with stock gears since I only have 33s

 

Worse mpg due to higher rpms an not much of a top speed

 

4.30 is bout the sweet spot for 33s 4.56 if you want more oomph

 

Yep. If you're sticking with 33s, 4.30 is best but not a big jump in gearing so most people don't bother regearing.

 

Thanks for the info, and I thought the 4.56 was only for MT?

 

With 33s, 4.56 is like going 4.88 on a manual with 35s

 

No it works great with auto also. You ever rode in Chris’s truck he has 4.56 with auto. I really like the way it performs.

 

Gotcha, again thanks for info guys. might just stick with what I got for the time being then.

 

I have not, but now I would want to check it out

 

For a heavy gal she’s light on her feet is best way to describe it.

 

What up Fellas, might be changing out old CV’s and upper control arms, what gear oil y’all recommend and use full synthetic?

 

75w90 synthetic gear oil. The brand doesn't matter, but I have an easier time finding valvoline locally

 

10-4 thanks was thinking the same just making sure
