An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

[Mountain Whiskey]

So this thread started on Jan 2020? And we are still talking about it?

Yep. Some are still hiding thier 3.21 shame. The goal of 3k is 79 posts away too!

You even waste money on fuel that makes no difference in your run of the mill, mass produced, made in Mexico pickup truck.
So this is your neighbor!

I guess with the shame of underpowered 3.21 gear choice you have to justify taking a second mortgage out on the double-wide for the down payment by calling it luxury.

My truck is tuned for 93 octane gas, nice try.
Not everyone drives a beater like you.

I beat mine. It can take it. You may worship it, play with it, rub on it and wisper sweet nothings in its ANC mics but it is just a slow, mass produced pickup truck. You can tune it all you want but in the end, that little Honda ricer with the muffler cut off and the suspension bottomed out is going to zip past you.

Can us 3.92 guys push it to the top?

Oh, you 5.7L guys and your cute little arguments about which rear axle ratio is superior. Mountain Whiskey just nailed it though. Y’all will all get your butts kicked by a rice burner hahahahaaaa

No because you’ll have to stop for gas

Bring that modified Prius on and give me a tow!

Oh! Sorry, it's not downhill yet the 3.21 will never make it!

As the actual fast truck shows us his rear bumper!

You need a bigger bed!

Nope. Getting gas, and filling their big gulp cup with diet Cherry Coke.

Oh yea, and getting their plastic tipped swisher sweets.

How do you know there is such a place?

That's like comparing apples to avocados. Hook a thirty foot travel trailer to the rear of your Civic and see how it matches up. It's not about speed, it's about trailer miles, or drywall sheets, or airport luggage trips, or maybe even mudhole ducks.

There is a place for everything isnt there?

I'll bring a 16 ft trailer for you to use until the swelling goes down.

Oh I'll be driving past all you HEMI guys, regardless of axle ratio, while you're filling up. I'll be chugging along getting 25 mpg right up until my EGR cooler cracks and dumps antifreeze into the intake, destroying my engine

I stop reading when you said “ I beat mine…. rub on it …and whisper sweet nothings” to it.

We all assume certain things about certain things with 3.92 owners and their lack of meaningful personal relationships. And it probably gets lonely.

But dang. Don’t talk about it.
