3.21 vs 3.92: The Last Word

[theblet]

Auuh, bog them down, and crush their "mileage advantage". Same thing as having a passenger, all that weight will kill the .2 mpg benefit.

Just stick with 33's. If you wanna run bigger get 3.92s, then you'll be like 3.21s again

For real. I mean, what else am I gonna do at work?

Especially on a Friday afternoon.

@SnowBlaZR2 , eureka!!!

@SnowBlaZR2 , eureka!!!

Or 40s.

Or 40s.

That’ll work. Then you’ll have 2.83’s

found another thread with almost the same title that is also 10 pages

3:21 vs 3:92 Gears

Just for giggles I did a few 0-60 runs with my lowly 3.21’s. I was pretty surprised. Brand new my truck was 7.1 sec. Seems everything loosened up a bit at 120,000 miles. 😲 It’s no TRX but that nothing to sneeze at either for a fully loaded crew cab Laramie with a 6’4” box. Only mods are air...

Should make another thread and call it "3.92 vs 3.21 Gears", just to keep things interesting.

I’m pretty sure some heads would explode if you did that

Does anyone know if this same back-and-forth occurs on the HD forum(s) with 3.73 vs 4.10?

I know, I have one guess...

Well just as there is only one true gear here and all others are followers of false gears, there can only be one true gear there too.

Not a sermon, just a thought.

 

[theblet]

Yea the 3.55

If Ram offered 3.21 in the HD trucks, I bet they'd be worse than us.

Have you done the math?

What if the gear ratios in the tranny of an HD truck are taller than the 1500s? So that the actual final drive ratio of an HD with a 3.73 is the same as a half ton with a 3.21? Maybe an HD with 3.73 is already the same as a 1500 with 3.21.

A 1500 with 3.21 going down the highway at 80 MPH is turning about 1800 RPMs, I think (versus about 2200 RPMs with a 3.92). What RPMs is an HD with 3.73 turning at 80 MPH?
