    Maybe you are right. I can only comment based on what I have seen in India. The actual difference in cost of manufacturing in India vs its shelf price in USA is mind boggling.

    I have scoured this thread and can't find 3rd gen manual transmission gearing. I am running 295/75 R16 and am about 600 lbs over GVWR.

    Nitro gears said to go 5.29.

    Thoughts?

    3rd gen manual you have an 8.75" diff regardless if you have an elock or not. You have a 4.30 gear ratio. If you are feeling sluggish, then your best choice is 5.29 because 4.88 really isn't a significant jump from your current ratio.

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    @Texoma @JoeCOVA

    So I spent a day shimming (from one extreme to the next) the hell out of the rear to see if I could get rid of the sound coming out of my driveline.

    After all of that and using a scope (but then again I can’t run my truck to speed on the lift), I am now thinking it’s the driveshaft making this harmonic sound I hear on deceleration.
    I don’t hear it when there is a load/gas applied but when I take my foot off I get a funky harmonic whirling sound. Sound reminds me of when your pinion bearing goes bad, with an additional wine glass whine. It’s driving me crazy yall!

    Truck is sitting on stage 3 deavers and has alot of weight in it.
    I am thinking about getting a Tom Woods ds next.

    You guys got any thoughts.

    Your diff will sound differently under an actual load. Taller gears will inherently have a different sound. There's a TSB for insulating the rear body mounts to mask the normal gear noise.

    Limited engagement, I was just wondering. I used it the other night and noticed it was picky.
    I got a price quote for $2600 for gear change.

    Some prefer more flexibility. I haven’t had a need for it outside of 4lo and haven’t had any issues engaging it

    If you're desperate to spend money I'd think better to put it towards adding a front locker during your gear change rather than replace the OEM rear locker. The rear can be finicky at times but it works.
