Have a good one & drive safe, Uncle Shadow

 

[HandK]

maybe. some GM vehicles have different rear-end gear ratios in the heavy duty trucks. I had a standard duty 1500 with a 3:55 and my dad's HD had a 4:10 gear in it.

Yeah but all you gain is going to the gas station faster with 4:10 rear end gears! I've had half ton trucks with 3:73 gears in it!! still just got to the gas station faster than the 3:55!

We need the HD for the hauling and towing capacity.

That's what I figured.

didn't say it was better. just that it is one of the differences. I will never have another truck with anything bigger than a 3:55 unless it is a dedicated tower and maybe not even then.

Why not a diesel then?

You need to look at the overall gear ratio between the tranny and the rearend gears. Manuals are geared differently and the rear diff gear ratio isn't the same as its automatic counter-part.

Lunch break!

we need the HD for the same reason and for us it was cost. For what we had to spend we couldn't get a decent diesel used for what we could get the gasoline engine. Diesels are very good at holding their value.

Yeah, I get they cost more. But you also have the potential to save money with fuel costs if you do mostly hauling with them. I was just curious. I wish there were more diesel cars though
