So your top gear is about the same as mine. 3.55 works fine here.

agreed about less stress other than the motor has to crank out more rpm but less load but thats fine they like rpm better than lugging. doing the same ratio swap myself 3.54 to 4.10I may be way off here but when I get to playing with gear ratio charts I look to see if I can still grab 4th at minimum 80mph. I plan to run 33s on my 88 (when I get around to that project), right now it has 3.54s and I think I’d be happy with 4.10s but I’ve considered 4.30s. If I was rich I’d run 5.13s and a gear vendors My beliefs here; the lower axle gears relieves stress off everything from the pinion forward. Idk, just rambling... lol

Thanks for the advice! I'm deliberately only running 4x4 when I'm on snow with no traction so I don't break anything. And I mean just a few seconds usually and I think I was doing it about 2 mins on the freeway up a fairly steep grade the other day but thats it.The t case is gunna H8te you...
Let's hope it spits a u joint first.
Wait till the Detroit unloads in a tight spot/turn it's gunna sound like a bolt snapped in two.
Nothing will be the matter just the nature of the beast.
