Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Stock for stock on 1st gens auto vs manual in 1st gear with 4.10's in 4Lo, the manuals are geared almost 37% lower than the auto.

The manuals 2nd gear is closer to the autos 1st gear than the manuals 1st gear is.

 

I can totally vouch for that. First time I used 4lo down hill in my double cab I was like JESUS!! Slow down!! Haha

 

Yeah. I was surprised when I saw that number. I checked two more sites just to make sure that was correct. haha

For kicks I just checked the numbers and you manual guys with 4.10's are getting lower than Silas with his 5.29's! haha

1st gear in 4Lo is 35.80:1 for the manual and 33.77:1 for Silas. haha

 

Thats what I'm going for in my living room right now!

 

lol wow.

thats why Jon wishes he hadn't gone with 5.29s. he is a 5 speed. Wishes he had gone 4.88s

 

dude we have gotten SO much rain here is freaking us out..like..way weird.

 

Maybe I should clarify haha. One job is the Army and one is a work study job. haha

 

yeah. I'll bet the 5.29's rock for crawling but probably suck on the highway. 5spd overdrive is 0.85:1 and the 4 spd auto's is 0.70:1.

That is one of the reasons why I think it would be really cool to swap in the Tundra's 6spd auto. My overdrive is 0.72:1 which is the same as their 1st overdrive gear and their 2nd overdrive gear is 0.55:1. With that kind of an overdrive ratio I could do an SAS and run like 6.50's in the diff and still have great RPM's at 75mph.

 

yea Jons freaking crawls good now. but 3+k for 65mph

 

Mike's final drive ratio in 2Hi is 3.46:1 and Jon's is 4.44:1.

If they are both on 33's and doing 75 mph, Mike would be at about 2650 rpm and Jon at about 3400rpm.

But when crawling Mike has a crawl ratio of 31.15:1 and Jon's is 46.19:1.
So again both on 33's Mike would redline that at 19mph while John would be at 13mph.
Or coasting down a really steep hill at 3000rpm Mike would be doing about 9mph and John 6mph. I know that seems like a small change but it is the difference between using your brakes vs just letting the engine hold you back for me.


EDIT: Damn that took me like 7 minutes to do and I had a calculator to do all the work for me. haha

 

god your bored Brady hahaha

 

man, with summer, comes a LOTTA chatter!

I have a real job people. what's the big deal about that?

I'm planning to make it in August, but with so many things in my life, it is possible that I would have to cancel. But not without some serious effort, I need some more pictures!

 

Man why does college have to be so expensive and take all my money

Seems like a pretty good deal, probably could talk him down to $700
