I have the funds to get the 4:10's but not a locker due to me being 17 and working at a grocery store. My ? is will I be able to hook up on street/strip with having 305/40/22 if I get just 4:10's and not a locker? Other mods in sig.
All comment's appreciated!!
you should be fine for now.
Personally, I would wait. Save up because youll just have to crack it open agian, to put the locker in. Might as well do it once, the right way. Open diff sux big donkey ****!!!.
Dont go with a locker, go with limited slip...what i just did
Limited slip is what I meant. The thing with waiting is that as long as it takes me to save that kind of money it will probably be a year but if I can break it into steps I can get the gears now and LS at christmas is how my thinking is going and cracking into it twice is no big deal.
What I'm wondering is with my mods will I be Ok for alittle while and not roast the tires of the line?
I dont think you will have roasting tire problems... But right now I know that if it is even a little wet, and I am on a hill at a stop, Its a pita to get going. If I had 4.10's and no locker, I probably could not make it to work. There is a low water crossing that I have to drive through. And a steep hill after it. I have trouble going up it with stock gears.
If it was me and I knew I would not be able to get a locker for a while, I would have gotton a locker first. It would have been very easy if you got something like power trax because it takes the place of the spider gears. Install is easy with no gear resets. If you want to put the 4.10's in at least find a stock govloc for cheap to throw in. They can be like $50 sometimes.
Just My 2 cents.
I was going to make the same suggestions as jeff, no more power then you are putting down I would look into a govloc as a temporary fix.
What is a govloc and where can I get one? Also I live in Fl. so no hills here.
eBay Motors: 99-08 8.5 GOV LOC POSI 10 BOLT OFF ROAD 4x4 Z71 TAHOE (item 110283705011 end time Sep-02-08 15:41:01 PDT)
Stock locker that comes in chevy rearends. G80 by the rpo codes.
How much power can a govloc hold?
about as much as a stock truck has... But at least youll have a limited slip with 4.10's. I think you will be fine for a while. If you go turbo, nitrous, or supercharged, I would get a stronger unit. If I wasnt getting a cam, and another stage of nitrous I would have put a g80 in mine.
Will it be able to hold a cam and stall?
Sure... But Allot of guys here refer to them as Grenades. They do fail under high stress. But, correct me if Im wrong more experianced guys here, I think you should be fine. Tyler has a g80 with a 5.3, 4.10's, cam, 2600 stall, and 20'' rims. His is still working I believe.
Allen busted one a while back, but he has a big ass truck with boost. I still think it would be better to put in a g80 than to leave the open diff in.
I would never run one in my 93 408 truck but I didn't blink an eye before putting one in my 07 crewcab 4.8L. :thumb:
Thanx for answering all my ?'s I really appreciate it!!
:thumb:
dude how can you afford those mods and working at a supermarket ? i can barely afford gas lol
Well I just get good deals on stuff (rims and tires $500 used) and my dad and I being gearheads we made my exaust. I also just had a birthday. On top of that my payments are only $120 a month due to my dad giving me $8500 to buy a vehicle with.
thats B.S. Only thing My dad ever gave me was a black eye. Everything I have, I bought myself. Your a lucky kid. Dad sounds like a good guy.
My dad is amazing we are basically best friends!!
I wish...:(Quote:

Yeah I'm very blessed, we were actually just talkin about a cam.
I wouldn't dare bring up camming my motor with my dad for fear of being called stupid and immature.:( I can't wait to see what his reaction is when my nitrous kit shows up at the door step.:hyper2:
My dad has a 454 550hp 67 pickup slammed on 18inch Boyd Coddingtons, so he can't really say much about me modding my truck. He tells my mom it runs in the blood!!
must be great
Like I said above God has blessed me.
Have your dad by you a LS :ugh2:
My dad says the same **** to me, and I am 30! I tell him to piss off, and watch his mouth while under my roof!.Quote:

BTW, the G80 RPO applies to just about every style of locker and limited slip GM has ever offered.
Yeah pretty much the same thing I tell mine, at this point he has no control over it as I own the truck, pay the insurance and fill it with gas.:ugh2:Quote:
