I got my 37 x terrains on..... need more power!

Should I gear it? about 4:56?

Or will a Super chips Programmer do the trick?

Definately upgrade to the 4.56s. I myself need to. You have any pics of your truck with the 37s on? Id like to see it.

Edit: Nevermind I found your pics on another post. Looks sick!

What gears you got now? If you're still rolling stockers, definitly get the gears. Then get a tune

 

[Whifflebat]

If thats the case...Definitly gears...and I'd do it sooner rather than later, your tranny isn't going to like those gears and 37" tires.

theyre stock...I was running 35's before and didnt really need them....

So is 4:56 a good ratio for my set up? I was told the programmer should take care of it...Was that BS? ABS wont work with the 4:56s? Thanx

you NEED gears :read:

i honestly do not get why people put big tires on and leave 3.73s in. its hell on the tranny.

since your truck isnt an offroader, i would consider 4.88s myself. 4.56s will be fine, but 4.88s would be optimal as far as returning your RPMs to the correct power band.

the tuner will not do anything but get your speedometer in the right spot and the tranny to shift at the right time. your tranny will still blow prematurely if you just get a tuner.

and like adam said, your stock gears are either 3.42 or 3.73. most likely they are 3.42's if you have a V8 and no trailer tow package.

i personally have 3.73's with my stock 31 inch tires and i feel that it is UNDER-geared, i think 3.90 or 4.10 would be a much more practical stock gear for 31s :bawl:

Cool...any recommendations of where to get the gears in So Cal?

how much are they running installed?

 

[HBjeff]

for your rear only expect to pay 550-600. call up outlaw offroad i hear they are good. 96chevysfa knows a place in LA somewhere to

alrite, I got an appiontment for next wednesday.....$525 + tax

 

[HBjeff]

sounds like a good deal. you will love the new gears. did you get 4.56s or 4.88s?

 

[elegalR1der]

I went with 4:56...Im thinking about putting in a locker or limited slip while they're working on the diff, any recommendations?

 

[elegalR1der]

I got the gears installed today....they feel bad ass, its got all its power back....
I also went with an auburn limited slip, he didnt charge me extra for installation since he was already doing the gear swap... :head:
