I think this figure is wrong. I would say something like 3500rmp. There is no rev counter in the car, but it feels like the engine revs more than just 2800rpm
I have indeed 4.56 gears. Based on the gear calculator it seems i'll benefit a lot installing a 5.38 gear. That will give me a 70+ mph top speed which is more than enough for me at the moment.
Rear axle 10.5" ring, teeth 43-8
Front axle Dana 60 9.75" ring same teeth.
Is there an online store...
How sure are you that the stock gear is 3.08:1 ???
Based on the ratio calculator you have attached, my truck should be doing almost 130mph. hahaha. My current TOP speed is 80mph flat out!!! Therefore, could my ratio already be 4.11:1 ???? In that case, I could only benefit by the 4.56:1 rear.
Please keep in mind that the vehicle is equipped with 38 inch tires! The increased diameter surely affects top end at given rpm. Thus a lower gear I guess wont bother me there too much. After all this is not a car to drive fast. It's a machine that should pull hard and climb steep!
Where can I...

Now:
Front axle Dana 60
Rear axle 10.5" Corporate 14 Bolt Diff with a Detroit Locker

The engine at the moment works perfectly. However, in case I decide to go for the turbo kit I shall most definitely do a very thorough check up on all major components. What worries me most is the trans. Does anyone know if the stok 6,2 AT trans can cope with nearly...
Fist I would like to thank you for your reply. Have you got any engine in mind? How about the all powerfull Duramax 6.6L? Could I fit this? Will my trans cope? Anything I need, I just go ahead and ship it directly form the States. Customs is a headache but hey... passion has it's...
Hello everyone,
I am a proud owner of a 1984 M1008 monster (see my avatar).
My beauty’s heart is an old heavy 6.2L diesel engine that struggles to turn the 38" tires.
I hereby seek your advice on the subject dilemma.
Should I install a relatively expensive turbo kit I found online that...
