trucks at the shop now, ill let you know what it was....but theres alot of different options for heads for this engine, what do you guys prefer, or have had luck with?
With the standard, first gear is still really low, even with the 3.55s, i even take off in 2nd in some spots, but i deff need gears
NV4500 is a granny gear transmission. It is designed to take off in 2nd in normal situations. 1st is for towing/pulling REALLY heavy loads, and off road use. I NEVER use first unloaded on pavement, even on hills. And I'm runnin' 33's on 3.55's.
Mine's getting 4.88's someday hopefully not too far away, that way it will be a great tow rig on 35's, and I could go quite a bit bigger then that if it turns into a trail rig.
