Hey guys, if there is a better spot to post this let me know and I can move it.
To keep a long story short, I have a 95 ext cab ranger with a 2.3L engine and 5 speed manual. A 7.5 open diff with 3.73 gears and I'm running some 27X8.50R14 maxxis buckshot tires on the rear. I'm planning on changing my rear end to an 8.8 limited slip. (And probably get a locker later down the road) I drive in a lot of hill country and the 3.73 gears don't have the tourque I'd like so I'm thinking of finding a rear end with a 4.10. my concern is what it would do to my milage. I'm getting between 19.5-22mpg right now driving mostly highway between 50-75mph.
How big a difference y'all think the 4.10s would make on my fuel economy?
