DAMN! I got 4.10 gears!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

TIMSPEED · 04-16-2003, 01:59 AM

Shyeah. After weeks of waiting, I finally drove it today, and I got it up to 50mph, and at 50mph it was at right about 2500... Damn man, looks like I'll have to go down to 3.42's ASAP!

Prerunner1982 · 04-16-2003, 02:13 AM

I cruise at 70@2000rpm...in my vette

(3.07 gears with a 700R)
But seriously dude, at 65, try around 3500rpm

Now I remember why this thing can pass anything but a gas station...

Prerunner1982 · 04-16-2003, 02:32 AM

3.07s....th350....and 31x11.50s..

I don't think they are 4.10's...I have 4.10's and at 60 I am just above 3000 RPM's...I bet you have 3.73 gears.

tire height is probably different...put taller tires on and itll drop your revs a bit.

bigblock73 · 04-16-2003, 09:22 AM

that is with 29.1" tires out back!

doh

I now have a 700r4...can't wait...lower first gear too!

If you really have 4.10's, and want 3.42's, then we should trade. I have 3.42's in my 78 and I want/need 4.10's. More speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since we're on the topic of rearends and rpm, just thought I'd ask. Does this sound right?

At approximately 60mph, my new tach is showing around 1500 rpm. This is with a:
305
700R4 tranny (in OD)
3.07 rearend
LT235/75 R15 rubber

BTW - I love the gas mileage

78' Silverado · 04-16-2003, 01:56 PM

Sweet man, It took them that log to install them!! Anyways i am looking for some new gears as well

If u don't mind me asking how much did the setup cost you?

Yup, that sounds about right! Gotta remember that's a 29" Tall tire.
For more help on that subject go to www.smokemup.com then click on Auto Math.

Link won't work for me

*Zilverado* · 04-16-2003, 02:11 PM

Great, thanks Tim.

Now if only someone could tell me why my tach jumps around (between 1000 and 2000) when the engine is not under load (i.e. idling or coasting w/ foot off the gas).

I posted this in another thread, but just thought I would double the question, double the fun

.

Thanks again.
