you are going to want 4.10's......
 
with the 3.73s and the 32's off road it does pretty good for an auto and i get around 16-18mpg on the freeway so I can't complain about that. I f you do do a gear change I'd go up to a 4.10 though if not a 4.56 but thats only if you don't freeway drive a lot but that leaves room for bigger tires in the future
 
i have 3.73's with my 32's and they do good off-road and on the freeway as well....

where are ya located?

I'd throw in 4.10's man. I like the tire size though w/ wheel choice. I had 31's with 4.10s on my 99 3.0 truck. Never was lacking, and RPM's weren't bad. I obviously had a smaller tire then you did to.

I'm in Evansville Indiana. Pics were taken at Interlake Great place to wheel and it's free.

I wanted to know about the 3.73s because I can upgrade to those for about $100. $50 a axle at the pull a part.
 
nice to see another local around! we have pretty similer trucks

i would run the 3.73's if ya only plan on runnin' the 32's....otherwise i would spring for 4.10's or 4.56's if ya plan on liftin' her more and throwin' on 33's or 35's...

yeah, our trucks are the same color, except mine is an SC :icon_thumby:

a club i just found goes to Interlake quite often...never been there myself, yet

ever go down to Turkey Bay ( at LBL ) ?

Anytime you want to try Interlake let me know. I've been wheelin there for years in 4 differant rigs and on 3 differant atvs. I go to Turkey Bay once or twice a year. Also go to Redbird and have been to badlands. But Interlake is a 25 min drive for me so I go there alot.

I have a 4" lift that is going on over xmas break and will be going bigger tires maybe this summer but maybe only 33s.

I can get a 31 spline 4.10 8.8 for $50 but can only find 3.73 fronts and don't know if it is worth another 2-300 to go 4.10s.

Anybody want to go to Interlake next week like monday or tuesday?
 
well, if ya go 33's i would say ya definately want at least 4.10's.....both on and off-road...

i work Mon. and Tues. unfortunately....and a group from around you is heading down to Bowling Green KY for a New Years ride that i might attend....

but, i will keep ya in mind after the 1st....
