Let's talk axle ratios

I'm sure you've blown a few tranny's

Bwahaha

4:1 low range
4.46:1 first gear
4.10:1 axles

i got 4.88's in my 4runner and its slow as poo. but that cause it's pushing 35's on a tired 3.0 motor which probably has a total of 100hp hahaha but she will go 65mph!

When you increase tire size, of course you have to go to a lower ratio. If you left a set 3.73's in a truck with 40's, the **** would go 0-60 sower than it could run a 1/4 mile. I'm talking bone stock. Remember all the 4.6 mustang guys with their 4.10's eating transmissions and blowing motors? Yea they were fast as hell from a dig, but were killing every drivetrain component.

And where is this info coming from???? pretty common to have a 4.6 guy rockin 4.10's with no issue. Only issue is when they go forced induction and they lose traction b/c they are great too low. If they are blowing motors, it wasn't b/c of the gears...

I agree with that..my stang had 4.10s with a supercharger 12psi and never had any drive train issues with built components..stock would be a bomb waiting to explode with more than 350hp to the wheels

Have the 3.31 in my F150 now. Sometimes it just doesn't get enough power to the wheels. 3.73's tend to eat gas. I'm thinking a 3.55 in my next truck should be ideal?

get a Chevy..and don't worry about it..Chevy will pull a house down stock
