Rear End Gear Suggestions

You get away with the gear from the nearly 33" tall tire...

Put his tire height on your truck and the 4.56 won't be as perfect with the same O.D. ratio you have in your truck is what he also has in his tremec...

Your trucks OD is .69..... his is .68.... He has probably a 25" tire and you have more like 32"

The difference is in the tire, not the trans OD ratio.


If we were talking trucks, i would bring up 4.56 or 4.88 depending on overall wants vs needs...

In this case were dealing with a shorter tire and what would be a best overall gear with the 5 speed, atleast the 3.90.. or if not then the 4.10....

How about 4.30 gears then?

What he could do is get the gears that would put everything lets say 3000 RPM at 70mph in 4th gear.......then use 5th gear strictly for overdrive. He would have to find out each gear raito (4th and 5th gear)that is in the trans and do the math including tire size and gear. This will help keep that low end bang we all love without screaming down the interstate.

Make since?

Maybe not?

jerkyboy ... take your time and do the math with each type gear and see what you like the most. One thing is for sure math never lies. :read2:
