Good morning! I think I'll do both, upgrade my throttle body, and get 4.10 gears. I think a friend of mine will help me on the gears. He asked me what size of differential and type of transmission, but his health isn't the greatest. I'm not pressuring him, but left it up to him. If not, I'll take it to the local shop who rebuilt my 46RE a few years ago. I'm sure they'll be happy to see the old truck again.
The truck never used oil in the 19 years I've had it even pulling camper, but it pings with the 87 octane like no tomorrow. I normally keep 89 in it for the winter time. Summer time, it gets 93 octane. I may upgrade my throttle body this spring, and while I'm under the hood, change out the intake manifold gasket too. Any special intake manifold I should look for? Felpro?
Thanks!
Jody
