Gears Done... Finally!

I'm going detroit true trac for the rear. Good to know I don't need any additive

I'm running Mobil 1 75 90 front and rear for break in purposes, after 1500-2000 miles I'll switch to maybe Lucas or something. The front called for 80-90 sythetic and the rear called for a 75-90 sythetic. I'm one of those guys who likes to use what GM recommends, but they want 34-35 dollars a quart for the Delco synthetic 75-90 for the rear, and 8 or so bucks for the 80-90 synthetic for the front. I can deal with the front stuff, but seriously 34-35 bucks a quart before taxes! They can keep that stuff, and when it goes on sale I'll pick some up.... So I'll break them in with the 75-90 Mobil 1 and go from there.

Where are you looking?!?! I can find it for $18. Hell, Royal Purples stuff is 17 and change. If you look well enough you can get it for $11 in some places.

Yeah, I know you can get it cheaper. I was talking about the Delco Synthetic, the dealer wants $34-$35 a quart plus tax.

i was talking about delco synthetic also. i can get it for $18 and if i look hard enough probably cheaper and its not from the stealership.

Ok, gotch! Dealership around here are stuck at list price, they won't budge much.

[MKader17]

I drove my truck for a week with 3.73's on 35's and said no thanks. Parked it and drove the 4 cylinder beater until the 4.56's came in

Honestly, I had it tuned about a week after the lift and 35's cause I couldn't stand it either. A tune will help out alot, but gears would be best. I daily drove it for a year on the tune till I got everything for the gear swap. She was actually pretty peppy with just the tune. Where in Texas are you located?

[1slo4.8]

yeah lol the tune dale did on my truck saturday improved it 10 fold. i can't wait for 4.88s

I was gonna recommend him, just wasn't sure where you were located! Glad you got it done and happy with it, best change I've ever made was getting the tune. I still need to see Dale about tunning my wifes Tahoe...

Do you plan on bigger tires in the future or you gonna stay with the 35's?
