13.3's to 11.8's to Forget it...

I'll just say, if you want to keep costs down, I wouldn't go past 4:10's. Once I went into the 4:xx ratios, heat(@ cruise) became an issue, freeway speeds and fuel economy went into the crapper


Gear should never affect engine temp. I run 4.56's and have zero issues. You had some other issues.


Now...fuel mileage...aaaaaaaayup. Gear is a mileage killer.

For me, I'd rather increase my carbon footprint to piss of the granola eating Birkenstock wearing tree hugging fruit loops.


But that's just me.
