good god... were the floor pans part of the recall :P

+1000 interwebs to me lol. how crazy would it be with 4.88s and 33's?

 

it would be a bit intense (rpm wise) at highway speeds, but would be great for crawling

this chart shows RPM for each combination at 65mph at a 1:1 drive ratio (top gear manual tranny) - add a bit (100-300) for 3rd gear auto, subtract a bit for overdrive
yellow = economy, black = balance/stock feel, blue = power

 

eeeh... is there some sort of calculator to find out what mpgs you would get? i heard people getting better mileage with one of those combos, but i cant for the lift of me remember.

 

thats exactly what i have! automatic, DD, weekend wheeler. and i want 33s. if i put 4.88 gears in stock, would it help my mpg?

 

no it would not, you'd be at almost 4000rpm at 65mph lol

 

but he would feel lots of power lol...

 

until he throws a rod out the side of the block

 

that is true... but that makes it time for a stroker lol... i gotta build one soon... :/

 

if the block is ****ed, there's no stoker

 

you can get a shortblock cheap... right?

 

so going for 4.56 or whatever the step down fron 4.88 is, is best? for the 33s. im thinking bfgoodrich muds.

 

fuel economy, balance, or power?

 

huh?

 

you guys worry me about all this talk with 33's

cause mine has 33's on it and its going to be my DD on just about all highway but i have no idea what gears are in it lol.

 

5 speed like mine? 3.07s. ideally we want 4.10s for 33s
