Okay got another 10blt ?

[DR]

Im running a th400 208 and 35s with 373s. I wanna go lower. I was thinking 456s but some people are saying 410s. It is a daily driver somewhat. Not because it needs to be, just because I like to drive it. Mainly just around town to and from the store kinda thing. Vary rarely does it see highway time. So, I'm still leading towards 456s. As I said before, my thought is lower the gear, the less pedal needed, so the easier on the gear... What do you all think?

I have a t350/203 with 35's and 4.10, I need lower gears, I would go with the 4.56. Pauly383 runs 4.56 with 35's and he loves it.

i really like mine, i kinda want 488s. its mostly a street queen and with the 700r4 but i would like the umph.

I went from 3.73 to 4.10 before and IMHO I think it's a waste to spend the money doing it because the two different ratios are so close to each other. I could not tell any difference in the "seat-of-pants" performance between them.

lol if you cant tell 3.73 to 4.10 you dont have enough power lol its the same from 4.10 to 4.56 the same spread of jump so think again dude

Not quite sure how the "power" has anything to do with it. I evaluate and test vehicles for a living, so I like to think I have a decent "seatofpants-o-meter", but again it's just my opinion. I've driven a lot of identical trucks with the only difference being the gears, something like 3.73 vs. 4.10 gears spreads, in stuff from 500+ ft-lb. diesels to 300+ hp midsize and, again in my opinion, it's very hard to tell the difference between them. The only way I could tell for sure was by watching the tach versus the speed you were going. I would bet that if you covered up the tach the average person would have a hard time saying which truck was which.

But hey, if somebody wants to pay a shop $1,000 to switch from 3.73 to 4.10 then go for it.

i went from 3.08 to 4.56 on my 35s and it was awesome! i thought i had a hot rod.

Are you going to do alot of highway driving above say 65mph? If not then I would do either 4.88's or 4.56's. I personally have 4.56's and I just recently went to a TH400 from a 700R4. I don't street drive mine much anymore though as it has become more of a rockcrawler then a street driver.

If you are going to have more of a trail truck, around town truck, with not much highway I would do 4.88's. If you are going to do moderate highway then I would say 4.56's.

If you are going bigger then 35" tires then definitly go 4.88's.
