The place I was going to get blocks from no longer sells them so now I have to buy some from 4 wheel parts ! They are so over priced.

I'm going to try to squeeze my truck in to the shop for the exhaust this weekend

Got my 3 inch magnaflow exhaust with the turn down done.

New gear and pinion with rebuild kit.

And Efans are next.

I just regeared from 3.55 to 4.11s and my rpms are way higher? The point was to lower rpms and therefor save fuel. But that's not the case I guess 1000 just went out the window for nothing.

Higher the gear, higher the RPMS. You are better off with 331's

Aren't you suppose to go lower with bigger tires?

So the gears help gas mileage or not?

Still don't know man I was getting 15 mpgs. Ill let you know next time I fill up.

Since I'm probably going to get ****ty gas mileage from regearing I dropped another 500 and ordered troyer Efans.

Update


I went from 16mpg to 14.5 mpg. This ****ing blows. I thought I had done enough research and asked enough questions but I guess not.

What makes me laugh the most is what the salesmen at desert rat off road and 4 wheel parts will tell you anything to make a dam sell.

For example I went in today to get the gears checked and fluid changed. And they told me that I need to change gear oil 2-3 a year?!? I've never heard such a thing but I might be wrong idk. I'm sure they said that because they thought I will be taking my truck to them and getting it done all the time.

They also spray painted my diff and sprayed over my stainless steel bolts I put on. They did a ****ty with the paint and covered the bolts i painted.

Long story short they lied to me when they said this set up will make my truck feel like stock and get my old mpgs back.

I told them my situation and didn't seem to care, there attitude was pretty much ( are u gonna buy anything else or not?!)
