    gears

    Looking for some 3.73 gears for my 2006 2wd rc. It currently has 3.23's. We have the 10 bolt 8.5/8.6 rear right?

    yea that correct. check out the site sponsor rons machining service, thay have good prices. also i think moving to 3.73s will be a waste of time and money not much difference. you have 33.5" tires id do 4.30 gears

    3.73's will be a good improvement over 3.23's, but somewhere in between 4.10's and 4.56's would be a whole lot better and more fun.

    I'm not bs-ing and that is with my tune and driving around 55-60mph for about 100 miles. Filled back up on the way home and got 28.2mpg. Not trying and just the normal occasional beating i was getting 23's over a whole tank.
