Re: Gear vendor's with 3:54 rear gears and th400?
That will be a nice combination. My project has a 4spd manual and 3.42:1. 3.42s are the perfect in between ratio. I want Gear Vendors but will first put it together w/o and it won't be awful on the hiway. For straight drive it will cruise second to the 3.08s/better than 3.73s, but not hurt your low end power. Add overdrive and it's not too tall like 3.08s. Most Tahoes out there have 3.42s with O/D and they can cruise and haul. On a 3/4 or 1t with big tires I'd say no.
I have only had a Gear Vendors unit on a, '84 K30 6.2 (w/Banks Sidewinder)/TH400/4.10s/35" tires and I loved it. I wanted to pull it out but someone came along wanting the truck before I had it for sale and my new truck was coming with a 5spd manual anyway. I wish I had kept it for the old trucks.
