Looking 4 gears

[corelokt]

Any help in finding a set of more highway ratio gears for my M1008 would be greatly appreciated. Also, is the 14 bolt axle full or semi floating ie, does it have the "C" clip?

Rear is a full floater, no "C" clips. Ring & Pinion Gears | Axles Parts | Drivetrain Parts all the gears you could possibly want and truckloads more.

There are literally hundreds of vendors on the web for a re-gear. Just takes a click and a credit card.

I'll swap you the axles from my 1009 for yours.

Why didn't I think of that. I have an extra set of 1009 axles from a parts truck.

Does this post classify as a Want Ad? Hmmm....

 

[corelokt]

Well I'm certainly not wanting 1009 axles

Looks like there are different "carriers" for different gears. The highway gears are for a different one?

 

[Cucvnut]

the 14FF and 60 need new carriers after the 410 gear that is the carrier brake

Why don't you simply increase your dire diameter?

I just installed a 700r4, now I can go 70mph at 2500 rpms instead of the 2800 rpms I was at when going 55mph, rpms are 1900 at 55 now. Plus my first gear is a lot lower than the turbo 400, can do wheel burnouts now. Might not be as heavy duty as the 400 but a lot cheaper than changing gears and carriers.

This is the way to go. You keep the low gears for torque and towing ability, and have the OD for highway driving when you are not towing.

And it costs less.

I've heard good and bad regarding the 700R4's. Never heard bad about regearing. Gears would run about $300.00 do it myself except for the carrier.

A properly built 700r4 will last a very long time behind a 6.2. You can get both front and rear gears a carrier and install kits for 300 bucks? please tell me your source as I will buy 3 sets?

I will take ONE set of gears for 300.00! Oh, I think that is what you meant. As was said you have to do both ends. A built 700R4 is every bit as strong as a 400. The rebuild kits for a 700R4 are fairly cheap also.
