Default Questions

Hey guys! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I'm still trying to learn about cars and I'm afraid I can’t bring to much to the conversations lately lol. Anyway, I have a few questions of things I am looking into. First of all, is it possible to go from 3.55 gears to 4.10 on a 4x4? If so, can anyone that has experience doing it give me some advice? Second, I really want to get a shaker hood along with a 70mm BBK TB. Would it be efficient with my stock headers, stock cat, single in/duel out flowmaster and will I need to upgrade the injectors?

Any advice I could get would be great! Thanks in advance

well..... if you change your gears, you have to change the front and rear. so it will be a bit over 1k to change them both.

Ya its possible . but unless you have done it and are good it will be a pain ! Take it to a mechanic who knows what they are doing . but as for the TB i think you would probably loose a little low end performance

it IS possible to change gears. its just expensive cause its a 4X4. I think a gear change is probly the best mod you can do.


and take it to a mechanic to get them changed.

Yeah it sounds like that is the general concensous Jonny. I do quite a bit of highway driving so I think the 4.56 wouldnt be very economical because this is my only car. Anyone out there have this done to thier 4x4?

Any more input on the TB/shaker hood?

in your glove box it will say on the sticker what rearend you have.


and if you do do gears. I would probly go with 4:10's


and I dont really know too much about TB's. try getting ahold of the fastman and see what he says will work best for you.
