I'm running 32's at the moment right now I'm just wondering if the 3.42s would be alright if i went to a wider 33 or would i need to go to 3.73's?
djthumper said:Honestly this has been covered on ORTB numerous times and I believe in general everyone recommends staying at 32s on the 3.42 due to excessive heat on the transmission without it locking. We have the power in the engine but then you lose torque.

Lifted 4.10s improved my mpg and 70 mph is 2000 rpm w 35s and was not much higher w 33s.jrSS said:Only thing bad about 4.10's is that the rpms are up there when cruising highway speeds. Well and gas mileage
