Fresh Gears and ready to roll!!!
Just got Killer back from the shop tonight with a fresh set of 3.08 gears. Man what a difference a few days makes. I only use him strictly as a cruiser and those 4.10 gears had him begging for some relief @ 65-70 mph. Not counting the new gears I got by for $175 which ain't bad in my book or Killers. This was by far the best upgrade we've made.

Re: Fresh Gears and ready to roll!!!
People call me a fool for taking out 3.73's and putting in 3.08's in my last 2 trucks. I sure love cruising at 70 nice and calm without the expense of overdrive trans though.

Re: Fresh Gears and ready to roll!!!
Don't you have a little less pep around town? I've got 4.10's and they are zippy driving in town, but struggle on the freeway.

Re: Fresh Gears and ready to roll!!!
Getting kinda tired of cruising at 60 myself but It's nice to have pulling power. Two weeks ago I pulled 4 palm trees out with granny low.
>>Used to drive a 16' flatbed to Fontana Ca. that had a two-speed rear axle.That gave you 8 gears.(wonder if I could fit one of those in my pickup?) > > > (jk)

Re: Fresh Gears and ready to roll!!!
I went from 373 to 308; love them!! Most of my driving is highway though, but it still hauls a yard of dirt on a trailer just fine...

Re: Fresh Gears and ready to roll!!!
Man believe me killer hasn't lost a step. The pep is still there. Besides we don't have any palm trees to snatch on round here and if i do find some I 'm sure Mr. Workin Longhorn will help me out. Only pulling will be is a jet ski. Gott get a hitch first.
