I got an 04 silverado crew cab Z71. 6" lift with 35'' toyo MTs
i want to regear to get my power back also to get my fuel economy back around stock,
has anyone came across this?
I don't know much about gears..
If anyone can help me
Thanks, Abraham:chevy:
4.56. fuel economy?
4.56. and what about the power wise?
is there another gear ratio?
If you plan on keeping 35s and never going smaller I would go 4.56s. If you go taller then 4.88s. You will get back a ton of power by swapping up and should see a little bump in economy.
Thanks a lot Kerrige, I guess 4.56 it is.
I want to wake up my truck once again,
I am guessing you have 3.73 now? Also I would get a custom tune, Efans, p&p throttle body and a cheap CAI off eBay. Should get an extra 40hp and a little economy bump.Quote:

How much does that P&P throttle body run? I want e-fans. If you know any where I can get some pretty cheap.
Thanks for the link Chevy-Art.
Are gears hard to swap out? Has anyone done it them selves?
4:56 gonna wake it up .... Longtubes and a re tune from Ray@Np
It's a very long process to do right. It's more of an art than a science. I wouldn't do it myself.Quote:

Ray had 456 in old blue and he talked me Into 456s once lol best gear IMO
Yeah I have a re tune in November. Gives me time to get re geared,
Just need someone with experience. Around my area.
How did those 4:56 feel on your old blue Ray?
