My 97 F250 4x4 auto 3:55 crew cab SB is not as impressive as I thought it would be with the new 5th wheel on it. It is running at max weight at 11,000 for the camper and about 6500 for the truck. I have the Banks stinger plus set up on it and it runs good but runs high EGT's any time it's in OD even at highway speeds Banks says it's not heard of any problems with this set up the truck runs around 950 degrees with the probe after the turbo in the down pipe. and if it shifts into OD right up in the 1000's.
I was looking at changing the gears to 4:10's to help keep the RPM's a little higher which seems to keep the truck happy and the EGT's a little lower. The inner cooler is alot of $$$ and alot of cutting the rad support apart I don't really like the looks of that.
It is a substantial increase per Ford the GCVW is 16,000 with 3:55's and it jumps to 20,000 with 4:10's
Has anyone made the change from 3:55's to 4:10's and how was the outcome?
Thanks Marc
