Ya'll are right--Melissa saw the post and it gave her a good chuckle :biggrin
Heck it's just a 5.4L but the gas is killing me--would cost me about 2K to change the gears out-which would help but not worth it.
It's those dang 4:11 gears--hate em--3:55 is as low a gear as I want--but I guess I should just keep driving it til it dies and go from there-it gets the job done for sure just hate spending so much on gas. Heck I'd be happy with 15mpg--this thing gets as good a mileage as my boat :banghead I did the figuring on a diesel and even with higher diesel prices I would still save about a c note in fuel by switching!!
I resemble that:yikesQuote:

I can get cheaper but the limited slip will need to be overhauled- basically both punkins would need overhauled completely. Heck the truck has almost 300k on it. Would probably keep it as is and buy a newer model and keep it as back up
Did they not make it with 383 or 350 gears in some of them, if so find a good used rear end and swap it out. Got to be another way to skin this cat.Quote:

Rees....Its 4 wheel drive he has to change out both front and rear if he is going to use his 4X4Quote:

I didn't realise that truck was 4x4, shoot go with something along the 300 range and put it in 4 low to pull out.
Wish I could get while of one of the Chevy 1/2 ton diesels, didn't make many of em but the fuel mileage was awesome.
just get some of them really tall tires.
Sorry for sayin Tall, I forgot who I was talkin to.
Haha least I can work under it without a lift :) heck taller tires would cost more than I want to spend for sureQuote:
