Attention... Attention... Shawn will be unavailable for an unspecified time due to a life changing truck transition. This time is a very fragile time that may be spent endlessly cruising at highway speeds or doing smokey burnouts on vacant back roads. He will return when he has adjusted sufficiently... or his gas tank is empty... or his rear tires are without tread. That is all!

C/10 King · 02-08-2013, 10:58 PM

Atta' boy Shawno!!!!

I bet you feel like this.

Rusbuilt · 02-08-2013, 11:49 PM

Rear gear is a 3.08 posi and tires are the stock P235/75R15. I think I'm gonna go with a 3.42 rear gear set up if I ever redo the rear end. Want a little more pull when having fun.

So you were running the 3.08 with the 4 speed before? What RPM's were you turning before?

I imagine starting out in 2nd was a bit steep....

Yeah been running those with the 4 speed, could do 60mph and turn 2300rpms. Do 65 and turn about 2600rpms so a huge difference. Never start in 1st unless your pulling stumps out of the ground.

700r4 is a nice upgrade, did you get a chance to check your mileage compared to the 350 tranny?

No I upgraded from a manual granny 4 speed. I haven't had a chance to check the milage yet, haven't driven it far enough. With my old trans I'm guessing the best I ever got was about 15mpg. With this tranny I expect over 20mpg.
