I just noticed he's running 37" tires...

I confused the post beneath the op....

wow man...


you definatly need a regear.....

4.88

no questions, just do it..

 

You got the 1600+ bucks to regear it? That will buy a LOT of gas........

With a 4x4 you have to do BOTH axles.

 

lol my parents didnt pay for it. i picked the whole truck with everything on it for 8,000!. i sold my old ranger for 5000 whuch i bought for 3500 lol i work 5 days a week after school and saved up for 2 years. i hate when people think my parents bought it but id probably say it too if i saw it
but i was thinking of getting a programmer too to help a little

 

get the 4.88's

 

Ok thanks any idea on getting mpgs back or no?

 

they should help since you do alot of stop and go driving.

 

replacing a transmission will cost more than a regear...

 

It should help....

But putting 37's on and expecting a re-gear to correct mileage is a ridiculous thought...

It will be better, but never like it would be with a set of stock 30.5" tires..

Good luck buddy, don't chince on parts and your installer...

I'm not familiar with the cost of doing this state side, but the lowest price isn't always the best.

Go to a tranny shop to inquire... Get a full price out parts and everything, then see if you can get the parts cheaper....

Which I kinda doubt... The shop will be wanting to make there money on the labour... Since a gear change can take a bit of time.

 

alright thanks guys, the word on these forrums is that a guy at diffsonly gets you a pretty good price on them (i think). and eveyones just saying exhaust, good intake, and programmer will help also

 

yup. wayne is his name. give him a call.

 

A Gotts/DWV mod is a heck of a lot cheaper than an intake and just as effective. Exhaust doesn't really help that much either, it just sounds better. If you keep the 37's, whether you regear or not a programmer is almost mandatory.

 

x2 on that

 

Really, 37's and crying for MPG? I'll say it BEST OF LUCK WITH A GASSER! You may gain 1-2 MPG back with 4.88's, yet your tranny will now love you! Yes you do need 4.88's at least for your truck. Or downgrade to 33's and your whole truck will love you. Less stress on parts, balljoints, suspension, motor,trans.

 

Now there's the best idea...
