need help deciding

[Lil Ram]

I'm ordering either my 4.10 gears or a ported throttle body this Friday... What is yalls input on which to get first?

 

[Searay245se]

I would go with the gears first.

Gears, though I'd save up for an lsd if you don't have one, and kill 2 birdies so to speak.

 

[Lil Ram]

Thanks and what's an lsd

 

[Jerseymike]

Limited slip differential. Like one of these: Differentials

 

[brandon.colt]

with the weight of the quad cab, you'll get more out of the gears.

 

[Lil Ram]

Lol should of realized what lsd meant but I'm going to have to get lsd then...might as well kill two birds with one stone thanks. does anyone have 4.10 gears installed

 

[C3ntury]

Sorry, I should have typed it out lol. Yes, I have a TruTrac lsd and 4.10's from Matt@Moes. Be aware if you get the Motive gears they recommend 80-85w-140 non-synthetic gear oil (not a big deal). Matt won't steer you wrong!

With the lsd and gears did it make a noticable difference in take off and pick up

Honestly, at first I could not tell and even seemed a tad boggy, but I assume there is somewhat of a "break in" period because after about 100mi of "babying" it (not jacking the skinny pedal) the acceleration and stick was night and day. You'll definitely notice both come into play under takeoff from a dead stop and I rarely free spin in wet or "grainy" conditions. Def. worth the price and my fave mods...so far.

So when i put the gears i have to baby the truck and go easy for 100 miles or so?

With any gear swap, you want to baby the truck for the first couple hundred miles to break them in properly. Most gear manufacturers say to go 500 miles without going WOT and no towing. After that, you can beat the crap out of the truck.

I just want to give you a heads up on the 4.10's though. I don't know anyone that has a 4.10 gear in stock at the moment. Motive, G2, Nitro, Yukon, and US gear have all been out of 4.10's for the 9.25" rear for more than a month now. Motive told us it would be about 2 weeks before they are able to ship our stock order to us.

Thanks for the info but is there any way u can email me or pm me when u get them in stock?
