Tech in GCC - Oh my! - New gears for a tow pig

[Pony_Driver]

A buddy of mine is going to regear his 04 or 05 F-250. Any reputable place or brand I can point him to? Any place to avoid?

I think he is on 37's so his stock 3:73 or whatever is effectively less than 3:1.

what city and state are you in?

 

[Captain Call]

I've had good luck with us gear, Yukon and just buying from summit.

 

[Roc Doc]

Check with Trail Gear.

I think Doug just opted for a whole Torq axle to make things easier.

 

[87manche]

Ask Doug.

Just two seconds too late.

Pick n pull some 4.30 suterdupy axels like yer mama taught you.

 

[billdacat]

Dang it.... I just replace a crush-sleeve in a D30....

Take that bitch out into the wilderness and burn it to the ground! YMMV....

5.18 like a real man and let it scream down the highway.

 

[granitestatedestroyer]

Have him buy f450 pickup axles and ship them to my house.

After I get them I will ship him my 4.30 srw axles.

 

[Chevy_man]

Randy's or Yukon have always had all the parts I needed.

gas? diesel?

I have 2000 v10 with 4.30 and 285's....id say it's pretty adequate. 37's" id think 4.88

 

[BUCKLAND]

Had a 06 V10 5R100 4.10s on 35s and it was good. 4.30s for 37s

At least 4.30 if gas burner. My 6.4 Raaaam on 37s is good but not great with 4.10. 5.13s would be amazing.

I've got a 2005 v10/zf6. Completely stock.

I don't think 4.30s are enough.

 

[Provience]

Tow rig gear ratio

Not seeing anything in search. Curious what people are running, if you made changes etc Engine Trans Axle Tire Pretty much minimum standards for any post :flipoff2: Contemplating going from 4.1 to 4.8 in my class c, not sure if that's too aggressive compared to 4.5. Target weight is about...

Same here

 

[MuntCuffin]

How bout them Dana svl gears?

...when you can find them, of course.

shorter tires net you stability, aero, ease of loading, blah blah blah

but we big gay truck land now

 

[Ditchrunner]

4.88 is as low as Randy’s lists for the 10.5. FYI.

You’re not wrong, but when you have hydraulicly operated equipment to help in loading and unloading, what does a few inches matter. I take pride in having a ride that I like the looks of. One of those mentality boosts

Far from BGTL.

 

[rockmup]

I've bought from East Coat Gear the last few times, good service and zero complaints

Far from BGTL.

Sacrificing a tow rigs function for form is the very foundation of BGTL.

 

[BUCKLAND]

We are talking about 37s, nothing crazy here. Still tows 20k+ no problem boss

Some of you get hung up on some lame shit.

 

[arse_sidewards]

You fire up the fork lift every time you need to toss a 100lb object in the bed?

Of fucking course not.

Don't forget to complain about your joint pain as you get old, as if working smarter wouldn't have pushed it out a decade.

And cheap readily available replacements.

Takes a special kind of stupid to buy something that you can't just pick up same day at the local chain tire store for a vehicle that isn't a toy. Purpose built crawler, summer sports car, I get it. But you can't take the commuter car and do truck shit with it while you wait for the tire shop to get your truck tire in the mail.

 

[BUCKLAND]

That’s why you plan ahead, have spares, common sense.

The flat bed dump on my stock f350 is higher than the bed on the f350 posted fuckin simp. You make a few inches into a mile

nope we chuck's trucks now
