Sounds like he might need that bed to sleep in, (in about a month) with a dog house over it.

thats the thing it was outside all winter!

Hey Stan if the trans is older or has been sitting for awhile you might think about replacing the seals now, before you start driving it and it starts leaking. It would be a drag if you had to remove it again.

Nice score on the plate!

Just a heads up on your trans and 373 rear setup. I'm running the same in my truck with a rear tire size 285/60/16 and at 60 MPH the engine is turning 2900 RPM!! Hopefully soon I'll have a 700R for it!

you can also go with taller rear tires, that will help bring the cruising rpms down some. i am going with a th350 in mine (cause i already have it) but drilling holes in the frame for the mounts for the 700r4 to swap in later.

what sizes ..?

1-ton of fun · 04-28-2009, 03:28 PM

well, i just saw that you were running a 3.73. it is going to be hard to make up for that with just tire. even with a 30" tall tire, you will be turning 3134 rpms at 75 mph.
