new member, regear help???

so today my truck has been acting weird, when i make a hard turn my truck acts like it is going to stall out, a friend said I need to regear. i have a 4 inch lift with 33 inch tires the only time it feels like I'm going to stall is on hard turns while going kind of slow. I've done a little research and my gears are 4.10 now it said to go up to 4.88, any help would be helpfully.

this is the site that said to do it with 33s http://www.brian894x4.com/Gearratiosanddiffs.html

 

What gear are you in when you're turning?

If you downshift into a lower gear, does it still act the same way?

Did you just install the 33's?? Or have you had them for a while...?

 

If you have an automatic tranny I don't see why turning would have any affect on the engine stalling. The ideal of changing the gears is to get the performance back to the way it was before adding 33 inch tires.

 

it does it when i turn into a parking spot or my driveway so 1st or 2nd usually. i put the 33s on about 2 months ago, but i just put the lift on maybe a 3 weeks ago.

 

i have a 5 speed manual. i would like to re gain power for putting 33s on it. i drive on the highway everyday to get to work. so that'd be nice to have that power back

 

Just a first guess .....Check your power steering fluid. Is there enough in there? Is it RED (ATF) and not burnt smelling?

 

its not my power steering, when i put it in 4wd it goes away. I'm planning on rehearing to 4.88, everyone that I've seen and all the post on other web sites say they like it a lot with 33s.

 

well it apparently went away. i have no clue what it was still considering re gearing some time in the future. but thank you for all for your help
