Re: Rear gear??
pop the cover off, there should be a stamp on the ring gear of the number of teeth....calculate the ratio. Sounds like an OD tranny may be a better way to go.
For any kind of street duty on street tires I would not go with a locker. I have an Eaton Limited slip in my pickup and have had no problems with it. Also, I have a detroit true trac (gear type limited slip) in the front of my jeep. I've had some issues of spinning only one tire at a time, a little brake pressure helps that. This isn't really an issue when offroading, but may be one on the street so I don't think I'd use the true trac again. |

Re: Rear gear??
The truck is for play time only, it will be driven daily though. Right now it has a M-21 4 spd., 20 inch Rims, 4-bolt 350 bored over slightly, 300 heads, somewhat wild cam and as soon as possible the super charger. (It is sitting in my sons room as we speak). When I was running the stock 15's it was @ aboyt 3400 rpm @ 60. It has dropped since the 20's went on. I ask only because my freind told me the 3:73's will be about the same as I'm running now. So...is it 3:08's or 3:42's, Eaton lim. slip or a Detroit locker posi.??? Thanks, Mike.....
