    ok I have 35's on the truck and at 60 in 5th gear I'm running at 2,000 isn't that a little high for stock gearing? I have the v6 3.4 I was thinking of doing gears but if I'm already running 2,000 at 60 now makes me think I don't have the stock gearing in the truck.

    The axle code for your rig can be found on the manufacture's sticker located on the driver's side door jamb as follows:
    First digit:
    • A = 7.5" ring gear
    • B = 8" ring gear
    Next two digits:
    • 01 = 3:42
    • 02 = 3:58
    • 03 = 4:10
    • 04 = 4:56
    • 05 = 3:15
    • 06 = 3:91
    • 07 = 4.30
    Last digit:
    • A = 2 Pinion, Open
    • B = 4 Pinion, Open
    • C = 2 Pinion OEM Limited Slip
    some '98-00 models have shown a BO code of "???" on the door plate; so far this turns out to be a 3.91 gear ratio, at least for the 5sp. RZN171L-CRPDKAB with factory 31s/265s should be 4.56 with the AT.
    Edit by Ed Quinones on 10-7-05: I used to own a 99 Prerunner ext cab 2.7L with auto tranny and gear code of B07A. It came from the factory with a 4.56 gear ratio.

    Wait....You posted this in the 1st gen section, and what I posted only applies to the 1st gens. THe second gens have 3.73 gears in the V6, and 4.10 gears in the 2.7

    OP. You need to clarify what truck this is. In your post, you stated V6 3.4L which is a first gen combo, but in your profile, it says you have a 2007, so you have some conflicting information.

    yea sorry I guess I fat fingered it when I put that up lol. but it's a 97 3.4 v6 I just thought that at 60 and 35's it would be at a lower rpm than 2000 in 5th gear I could be totally wrong though.

    I was about to say. I went out and looked at the sticker on mine Gen 2 and found A04B i was like there is no way it came from the factory with 4:56 gears. then i read that it only applied to gen 1

    For sure and you should be spinning lower rpm's anyways if you have 35's correct?

    Regearing should just be for power and take off's?
