new gears are in!

[05z71]

Finally got a chance to give my truck a little love and got some Yukon 4.56's and a trutrac installed on Friday.

All I can say is I cant wait to get to Allens and get re tuned because its really weird driving it now with the shift points all out of whack and my abs not happy, so far it seems to be a great improvement.

It is kinda funny to see my speedo go to 100 mph though in afternoon traffic on bandera road.

[05z71]

33x12.50

33x12.50

should feel really good out of the hole, did you get your retune yet?

That's lotta gear for that small of tire. Time for a lift!


How much your mileage drop?

not really, about the same as a 30 w/ 4.10s. i'm sure he's doing better in the city, same or a little worse on the highway. i run 4.10s with a 29ish w/ 4.10s and love it

I had 3.42 with 33's, and went to a 3.73 locker when I got 35's (full rear end really cheap with almost no miles)

Once I go to 37's or 38's i plan on doing actual gear swap, its just SO much money out here.

cool! "I" think you've been under-geared!


i'd go 5:13's w/ 37 or 38 in a 2WD

+1 on being under geared....

Those 4.56's with the 33's 05z71 has are great for towing and "TRUCK" type use. I have 4.88's and 35's and love the way mine tows and daily drives....

i've heard our casings can't really handle anything bigger then 4.10 with reliability, but i'm sure i'll go 4.56
