Granny Gears Too Low..Solutions ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Are you saying your truck is not equipped with lock-out hubs? Just a bolt-on plate with a bulge in the middle? If so, the hubs are always engaged to spin with the axle. The axle will only spin when the driveshaft does which should only happen when the shifter is in 4HI or 4LO. I think you are only feeling one side of neutral and the other. It's a less noticeable feel between 4HI and 2HI right next to each other.

I think you are just not used to a lower geared truck combined with no overdrive. I've seen this before with younger people who came up with newer O/D high geared cars
