Have a 96 f150 with a 302 backed by an e4od with 35s. It has 3.55 gears and I can't go into overdrive because every time I hit the slightest hill it needs to downshift. I have a Dana 44 front end and it's 4wd. I don't know what gears I want to go with. I will be driving mostly highway the next 4 years for college so I don't think 4.10s will be the greatest. I'd like to go with either 3.90 or 3.92 but I can't find the 3.90 for my 8.8 rear and I can't find the 3.92 for the Dana 44. If anyone knows where I can get those that'd be great. Because I think 3.73 would be okay but I'd like to go a little bigger. What do you guys think?

 

Go with 4.10. 373 won't make much of a deference. Id even go 4.56 with a5.0

 

If it runs at 1600 rpms at 60 mph what do you think it'll run at with the 4.10s?

 

2100 more or less

 

And I'm assuming it won't hurt the transmission at all?

 

No

 

No, it would help your transmission

 

Do you think that if I change the gears that it will help my mpgs at all? I get about 9 in town and maybe 12 highway 14 on a good downhill day haha

 

Yes.it well change your power band

 

Okay guys thanks a lot
