dont worry about what openclasspro says, seriously. just nevermind it.

 

i kno i need to regear the truck..this is the 4th lifted truck ive had in the 6 years ive been drivin an i have had some that i tore trannys an rearends out of that was geared an not geared just depends on how u drive it an i drive 20 mile round trip to work an back home everyday an on weekends i drive anywhere from 25 to 50 miles so i put around 150 miles a week on it an i drive like my grandmother cause i kno how hard it is on everything ..its just goin to have to wait cause i need tires an when i say i need tires i mean it..wire is showin in all 4 an the brakes are gettin horrible an the tranny has about 20,000 miles on it with the lift an tries

 

the axle code is h9

 

3.55 ls

 

what do u guys think i need to go with 4.55 or what

 

4.56

 

With 37s I would say 4.88, but if a 6" is all you have an all you plan to do, 4.56 could do well. your best bet is to ask in the appropriate section

 

well the way everybody jumped on this i figured u might kno..but i think imma take some of the lift off an go down to 35's but i dunno when the time comes ill find the right place to post

 

other powertrain

I'd go with 4.88's

 

well i started the thread just to give a review of my new intake an everybody jumped on the gearing..which i still like the intake only problem i had was its got a 3' body lift so that kinda made it a pain in the *** to fit the heat sheild an the bracket that mounts to the power stering bracket but i got er on an im pleased

 

lol you are right. this thread was for the intake...
well the intake will definitely make a difference. i have one on my 08 V6 and it put some more fun factor into it
i dont know how well the spectre ones filter. i have a K&N but re-oiling it is a pain. plus it got a small hole in it awhile back, so i am in the market for a new filter and was thinking of getting a spectre. they are cheap and some have an air inlet on the end which would help me out if i end up going with ram air. but just the quality of spectre filters is not known very well yet. K&N has been around awhile but with a $60 price for a replacement....i think i might go cheaper. pretty much stuck on the old saying...you get what you pay for.

 

the spectra filter seems very similar to the k&n..im not a fan of k&n ive had alot of bad luck with them never had one on a truck but i ride 4wheelers an ive had lots of problems with them

 

i dont understnad how you can have a problem with an air filter....unless you buy it with a hole in it or something. how does it give you problems?

 

also just a question. is the spectre one reuseable? and does it have to be oiled? i have heard the K&N oil can get sucked in if you use too much and start messing with the mass airflow sensor, i think i put more oil on than im supposed to and so far havent had a problem. just the re oiling takes awhile and is a pain. but i think i may end up going with a spectre if its a dry filter.
