What would be the better upgrade first 85 m throttle body at 3 bills or a pair of 4;10 gear sets at 450 ?????

Gears!!!!!!!!!!!

DavidRam · Jul 25, 2014

+1 for gears!

Ramunit · Jul 25, 2014

4.56 gears for the win.

+1 especially if you want larger tires down the road.

I find the throttle bodies to be dubious. The blade is usually the same size.

Go for the gear sets 1st, bigger bang for the bucks.

4.56 Gears but if you having the shop do it then you gotta tack on the extra $$ for rear and fronts install labor. Ported TB can easily be done without a shop.

Well I have the CAI and a superchips with flowmaster duels with a RCX 6 in lift with motometal 18's and 35 in Toyo's.That was my next question stock gears are 3;92s I thought 4;10s you guys say 4;56 ?? and is that superchips trans tune worth the 30 bucks ??

norsman · Jul 25, 2014

And I would do the install :crazy:

DavidRam · Jul 25, 2014

You have 3.92s now? 4.10s won't be very noticeable, go 4.56.

Keeps the truck running at a lower temp than stock.

regarding the 180 deg Tstat;

I have seen it recently said in the 4th Gen's Forum that the Tstat was not worth the replacement because the stock tstat keeps the truck at the optimal/designed temp to burn fuel most efficiently.

However, I just went on a nice vacation towing my tow trailer (app #7,800) and the truck did just fine with it.

The temps did rise to 200deg on the really big hills where I was running 2,800rpm but dropped back down as soon as we leveled out.

It was mentioned that fuel mileage is effected. This may be true. Mine did drop this last haul but, I was hitting a lot more hills than I have ever previously hit.

3.92 to 4.10 you might as well buy a Tornado fuel saver!!!!

It'd be like going from 3.55 to 3.92 instead of 3.55 - 4.10.

So 3.92 - 4.56 will net better results.

I'm not sure wtf Chrysler was thinking with these gear ratios.
