I have an 85 automatic w/od 4x4 with 33's and stock gears, its gutless as hell, with average 12 mpg. What would be the best gears to go with in an automatic, I'm pretty sure the automatic have lower gears then manuals, but they ain't low enough to be pushing 33's. What do you think? Thanks
so i would say 5.29's to give you the best gearing, your mileage will go up around 15-17
If you are worried about the 5.71's being a bit weak due to pinion size, you can have em cryo'd by Bobby Long for like $40.
Well, if the ideal of excluding the lesser equipped (stock or otherwise) is accepted... there is no fundamental difference between that and a Sierra CLub ideal of exclusion. If we cannot embrace the 4wheel users as a whole. We are not fighting for access. I cannot be that shortsighted
zuk.I have been running 5.71 for a 4-5 years now. and both the front and the rear diff have failed me recently at the same year. The front was just my stupidity the pinion bearing failed and I ditn´t notice it till it was to late. I re tightened it at the trail and when I removed it I had a small chip broken off the pinion and decided to change the diff cause the wear.... The rear was probably going for the same direction but my truck got in the way of another car which hit the tier. resulting the housing to bend braking both my axle bearing and chipping the diff..... I am now having that diff reassembled Does this make sense to you and do you have any advice for me regarding the installation off the diff..with regards Bæring (from Iceland)
Zuk your the man . how is the weather, is it still to hot to do any installs?
