Gear swap

[justinray]

I'm looking for parts sources for my next project on the truck. I want to change the gears (front and rear) to 4.56:1's, and add a gv over/under unit, giving me 4.56 low end and 3.65 high end, but I'm having trouble finding gears for my front end.

Check out Randy's ring and pinion

Well, that was quick.

I was looking at parts for the 50 on another browser.

Heath gave me the idea of adding a gearvendors UNDERDRIVE to the 4:10's as I wouldn't mind more gear as well. Would that be a viable option for you? I haven't crunched the numbers to see the exact differences.

I really like the Gear Vendors behind my BTS E4OD trans. I have 8 forward gears to choose from now... Sometimes I use every one of them for giggles getting on the freeways. If you have the gv behind a zf 5 speed then you have 10 forward gears...

It would be a viable option, but I like the idea of the 4.56/3.65 over a 4.10/5.10... I don't feel like I haul THAT heavy, and would like to see a little less rpm at highway speed than I do now. I think the 4.56/3.65 would offer the grunt and efficiency I want for loaded/unloaded performance.

DTS - drivetrain specialists, were good to deal with then i did my bronco... and i will buy through them again when i can put 35 or 37s under my truck cause i then want to go to a 4.56 as well..

How fast do you have to be going for the gv to engage in first gear?
