What did the tranny come out of?

Quote from: ducpainter on Today at 01:26:50 PMWith all the power that thing makes, I woulda thought 4.10 would have been fine, too.

Live and learn.

Quote from: Monsterlover on Today at 01:23:57 PMNo, it was just a gearing result. The numbers looked good on paper but in reality weren't.

The first gear in my transmission is 2.6 something to one. I really need like a four-point something to one.

It takes a significant amount of slip to get this thing rolling. More than I like.

So I'm giving up some top end for about 15% easier starting from a stop.

What...tires wouldn't spin up quick enough to suit you?

Quote from: Monsterlover on Today at 01:11:33 PMThe wrong ones came from Motive, who supplied the r&p.

I don't know the correct terminology for this since a bigger gear number is actually a lower ratio.

So, gearing up and ratio down.

Have : 4.10
Will soon have : 5.38

Quote from: Monsterlover on Today at 12:55:12 PMAfternoon. Doing a gear swap in the truck. I reused ring gear bolts once already so I bought new ones for this.

They're shorter that the OEM bolts by enough that I don't want to use them.

ARP is getting more of my money I guess.

Afternoon. Doing a gear swap in the truck. I reused ring gear bolts once already so I bought new ones for this.
