reallly? What make and year?

I have 1st, 2nd, overdrive....

 

dude, then something is wrong with your tranny. mine is a 2004 (NBS). all 04+ f150s with the 5.4/4.6 auto tranny have the 4r75e transmission, which is a 4 speed + overdrive. Id get that checked out ASAP. Are you running any kind of tuner or programmer??

 

OHHHHHH, nevermind. I know what I was thinking.

COrrection: I wish we had a 6 gear tranny. We have a 5 gear, right? I just remember talking to someone and the chevys have 1 more gear than fords.

the 3 gear thing prolly just popped into my head because our shifter says "P R D 2 1"

 

Isn't it spray painted tho?? How mucho?

And yea i do like it better then the Saleen but its your truck brotha!

 

I think you will like the bilsteins man!!!

 

I would like to but i want my gas mileage to stay somewhat the same. Or would it even change with the 4.88s. What will it be like with the 4.56s?

 

I bet it'd be the same with 4.88s and better with the 4.56s ... I loved my 4.88s but than again I had 37s .. Regardless, I always wish I had more gear.

 

$50 for top and $25 for bottom... plus shipping.

Yeah, its been spray painted. So far, only like 3 chips on the very bottom of the lower grille. been about 8 months

I just dont know how much shipping would be... Im thinking around $60? Where do you live?

PS: 4.88 = no bueno with 35's. to low-geared

 

Fordboy have you had 4.88s in a 2004+ F150 before? I have and they are not too low of a gear.

 

You had 37's. You said so.

gear ratios depend greatly on tire size.

4:56 with 35" tires = 2300 rpm at about 65-70mph.

If you wanna be at like... 3000rpm in overdrive goin down the freeway, top out at about 80, and kill your gas milliage.... then yeah... 4:88 will be fine.

Above is stated for 35" tires. It would be fine with 37's.

 

When it comes the time for me getting gears i am pretty sure i am just going to be getting 4.56s cause i don't want to kill my gas mileage with the 4.88s ya know.

And Fordboy i do like that grill alot but i don't really want a grill right now sorry brotha! I was just bein curious about it.

 

oh, no prob. I was planning on selling it anyways. Its just there if someone wants it... lol

 

Errr... wrong. I used a buddies 35s with my 4.88s and it was perfect. No 3,000 RPMs that you state. 37s and 4.88s is like ~2,300. And with 35s, it's like ~2,500 at 70 mph. Top out at 80? Now I really know you don't have any idea about anything. These trucks with stock gearing and tires theoratically can go close to 200 mph. However aerodynamics limit that greatly. Increasing tire size and keeping the stock gearing would make the final gear ratio pretty "tall". Increasing tire size and increasing gear size would make the final gear ratio pretty close to stock when using 35s and 4.56s and 37s and 4.88s. However we're talking one gear size from going from 35s and 4.56s and than to 35s and 4.88s. I can gaurentee that you would never see a decrease in top mph speed. The vehicle would still be able to see 120+ mph. I'm sorry if I'm coming off harsh but it really needs to happen because you're giving people on this forum BAD advice.

Anyways to clarify for everyone else. 35s and 4.56s are going to bring you closer to a stock final gear ratio and you'll get better gas mileage. 35s and 4.88s will give you more umph, no top speed decrease, probably no mileage increase or decrease either from running stock gears on 35s vs the 35s and 4.56s.

 

Learn how to do math.

35" tires w/ 17" loaded radius:

4.56 gears...75mph @ ~2361rpm

4.88 gears...75mph @ ~2527rpm

 

Well thanks brotha!
