  • Do you ever wish you went bigger?

    With a bigger ratio set of gears? I so wish I had gone with 3.73's now I think I might change them over.

    i love my 3.42's.... though they're still new. havent had them long enough to break them in before really being hard on them.

              I wish I would have gone 3.73 originally...and soon after I go 3.73, I'll probably wish I had gone 4.10 too [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

                  I have 3.73's, i wish i went bigger. The highway rpms are still under 3000 at cruise, so i think the 4.10's would have been fine as well.

                      maybe I would want 3.73's if I went with some 335-35-18 tires. I like my mileage with 3.42's as well as the acceleration.

                        Not really, I hope to have taken my last LONG road trip of 5+ hours. No more driving across Texas for me. But I don't mind going 70mph when I do take short trips, or even 80 isn't bad.

                          i sometimes wish i had gone smaller, but i love my 4.10's. i'd love them more if i had a 5th or possibly 6th gear instead of a 4spd auto and if i could get my damn speedo corrected.

                            Hey distrbd1 - I should be getting my speedo corrected either later this week, or early next week. If everything goes alright, I'll e-mail you and tell you what you need/how to fix it.
