what gearing should i get for 33's??

 

depends on your engine



3.0 or 4 banger... 4.56 or 4.88

4.0 .... 4.10 or 4.56

 

holy crap....4.56 for a 4cyl **** man i am running 32's on my 2.3L with a 3.73 gear and its fine...dear lord...

and 4.0L 4.10 is perfect for it..

 

i have a 3.0

 

3.0 with 33s ... I think you'll be happy with 4.56s ... I have 4.88s with my 35s and I'm glad I didn't get 56s ... When I had 33s with 4.10s it sucked ...

4.56

 

4.10s are jus fine man :-) I guess 4.56 could be better, but 4.10 is jussss fine. I dunno what that guy above is smokin with the loow lowwwww gears haha.

 

4.10's were just fine on my 3.0

 

i have 33's and 3.73 gears(stock) and a 4.0 its not to bad, gas mileage is 11city/14hwy.... i would get 4.10's better gas mileage and youll get most of you power back, now if you plan on upgrading tires in the future(35's or bigger) i would get 4.56 or even 4.88's

 

I have 33's, 4.10's and a 4.0, it sucks gas.

 

I want the best gas mileage. im moving to germany and i hear gas is like 5 bux a gallon.... so what should i go with for gas mileage???

 

Stock tires and 3.55 gears.

 

its a common rule between ford, chevy, dodge mid size trucks. Usualy when you get 33's, you get 4.56's, which will bring it back to about the stock ratio

 

Hmmm, most people I see with 33's and 4.10's don't upgrade to 4.56's.

You are moving to Germany, civilian or military?

 

my mom and stepdad are in the airforce..

 

well i have 32's with 4.10's and i think i will be fine if i had 33's. But for fuel saving's I would go 4.56's.

 

100 mph = 3600 rpm

 

I dunno what you're sayin lol but when i'm goin that fast i dont really care about RPM. But 4.10s are PERFECT for 33s. I'll provide linky!

that link is for a specific tranny and also a V8.. we have 4 bangers and V6s.. hence why we need taller gears.

i could show a very realistic calculator but its on another Ranger site and i feal that its not right to post the link here

 

with 33s and the 4.0 4.10s are very comfortable. with 33s, the 3.0 and definitly the 4-banger will want 4.56s...

 

No it isnt... and yes you can post TRS links here. It's fine as long as you're not advertising for them.

strait from that link

"Also this write is assuming you have an E4OD, or similar auto tranni."
the 5R55E is not anywhere close to the E4OD..



gear calculator

every time I use that thing it comes up NAN wtf?

 

you fill in the 3 boxes on the left.. but you have to use inch sizing not metric sizes

235/75/15 = 29" ect

 

Bah I don't care. It's accurate enough. I believe our auto tranny is 4 speed also ya know. Altho different ratios i bet.

 

its a 5 speed
