Back in ī15 I swapped out my 2.73:1 gears for 3.42:1 to get some zip into my acceleration...........that part has worked to expectations.
What hasīnt worked is the increased rpms, Iīm doing 3000 @ 60mph, I canīt keep up with traffic on the freeway doing 80 mph the motor is going nuts.
So Iīm thinking of going back to 2.73s for my sanity and reduced fuel bills.
This wasīnt my best idea.
Looking at gear set prices for 2.73s at Summit the prices are around $260.00, they have three choices, Motive Gear, Richmond and USA Standard.
Over at Rockauto I can get a Dana set for $111.79.......
What gives here, whatīs lacking in the "el cheapo" Dana set that the other three have ?
Bat me around the head for somehow "losing" my original gears........
