u have the power tho :rolleyes:
Yeah but I'm a chevy man,so that ain't nowhere near a 350 smallblock
very true
OK for everybody wondering. Last night I finally did the gear swap in my truck, I started out with 32 tires and 3.909 gears witch robed a lot of power from my rebuilt 2.6. So I went to the junk yard and found a 1984 montero with a LSD and 4.265 gears and installed them last night. And wow what a difference it made. I was hoping for a little difference and got a lot, it actually put my speedometer back to factory according to my GPS its only 1 MPH difference at 65 MPH and at 75 it runs right around 3200 rpm highly recomended. Oh yea and not to mention I can actually just crawl in 4 low. Hands down must have if going with bigger tires
:)) man thats great! 4.265 gears and not 4.65? hmm! how easy/difficult was the swap?
Sorry 4.625 and the swap was really a piece of cake
sounds good just dont overdue it. lol but 4.6 gears sound like a planQuote:
