I do quite abit of towing with my truck , have 06 hemi with 3.55 gears 17 inch wheels , i tow a built jeep which i use for offroad just wonder what are the best mods to gain some towing torque. Thinking about regearing what do you guys think?

 

prob first thing to do is the swap out those gears for something else...4.10 maybe prob best

 

yea gears and also mods to keep that engine cool... such as electric fans

 

4.10 gears, intake, exhaust, programmer, LT headers, 180 t-stat, e-fan...that should give ya a good start

 

I'm with him, gears & breathing...

 

i think gears and a tuner are going to be very good to you in this case

 

ya i already have flow master cat back kit with all the resonaters removed and a cai , is there any carrier break for these axles at all ? also will I be able to retain my factory posi?

 

What is the actual problem when towing the jeep?

Can't pull certain steep hills (what gear)

Upset with MPG ?

Overheating?

Not happy with acceleration onto interstate?

 

i live in ont canada and almost every weekend i go into northern ont , which has twisty hilly rds , and the truck doesnt pull like i want it too. If i only did this 3 or 4 times a year ya it would be liveable. Couldnt afford a diseal so here i am. Also my truck came with a larger tire from factory 265 instead of 245 I know its minute but still I just think the gearing is too low. With the bigger tires and tow package i have should have came with the 392 instead of the 355.

 

i'd go even lower than 3.92....4.10 or even 4.56. i have 3.92 w/ 265 tires and would still like a little more tow power. if you aren't constantly driving lots of highway miles...go w/ the 4.56. also if you go from 265/70 tires to something bigger, you'll need to figure that into the gear equation. but, that's just what i'm doing...going from stock to 33" tires and to 4.56 gears...i also have a lot of truck to move down the highway.
