Re: Changing Rear End Gears 1950

IMHO. After a year with my 40 3/4 ton you start increasing the speed, you need to start thinking about increasing the brakes and changing the steering.

Stock systems just are not made for higher speeds.

Get used to cruising at lower speeds on the back roads the truck was made for. Its fun. In addition I took my GPS out with the truck one day and found that the speedometer was reading 5-7 miles slower than the actual speed. So when I thought I was poking along at 38 I was really doing 45.
