Long time listener first time caller. Thanks for the smart and consise videos. I’m learning allot and the commentary is really great to.
That baby is gona take off like a rocket. Put 373 gears in a GTX I had years ago and loved it. Wish I would have kept that car. 69GTX is worth a mint now.
Yeah, that is a expensive car now. There are tons of cars I regret parting with that I hope to buy again one day and keep this time around.
How much does it cost for the parts and installation fee?
Parts are around $400, and installation depends but probably around $400-$600.
@@falcothegreat5470man everywhere around me quotes about $1000 for the install. Am I just unlucky?
Nice! My 3.7 needs 3.73’s so bad. You can change the gear ratio on your handheld sctx4 to fix the speedo without interfering with the tune. But yeah especially being auto MPT may need to change to things.
Good point, I forgot I could do that.
How do you change it on the sctx4 I have one and just got my 3.73 gears done 2 days ago
Just go in like you're gonna tune it and select the option and upload it. If you need further clarification, I made a video about how to tune it with the sct x4, something along the lines of "sct tuning the mustang" for the title. You can easily find it under my Mustang playlist on the channel.
@@BuckeyeBallistics yea I got it I was messing around with it and found out how to do it Thanks
Yup
Setting up axle set up is best left to a grizzled old man getting it done right. I learned an expensive long ago with an old fox body.
Link for the kit you bought ? Having a hard time finding the right one other than just the gear itself
Out of stock like everything else is right now thanks to covid (I've been waiting on headers I ordered since March), but here it is: www.americanmuscle.com/373-gear-oil-kit-1014.html
Love Cyclone-powered Mustangs. Such a cool motor that really takes well to mods and have a lot of character; high revving and good sounds. How do you like yours?
Really liking it a lot now with the 3.73's. Finished breaking in the gears tonight, so in a day or two I'm going to record some rips and probably myself laughing hysterically. With my bolt ons, tune, and gears, it's pretty fun. I just hope I can get the coin next year to SC it as I have been planning to...
Guns&Cars that’s great! Definitely going to subscribe so I can keep up with the build! Looking forward to some wot pulls!
Awesome, thank you.
Hey man, my 3.73s should be here today or tomorrow. With the MPT93PRX tune my MPGs are normally between 24-26mpg unless I'm racing or gunning it all the time. I have the auto just like you, so what MPGs are you getting just regular driving?
Lol I average 19-20mpg, but that's because I run the crap out of my car. I literally got the same mileage when I had the stock 2.73's in there, 19-20mpg, but that's because of how hard I constantly drive it. From my research, people lose on average about 2mpg from 3.73's, but that depends on the driver and their route.
@@BuckeyeBallistics that's what I'm hoping for. I drive a mix of city, 55mph roads and interstate. I've just heard horror stories of 10mpg out of 3.7l Autos and I started to think I made the wrong choice...it is a Mustang but I got 12mpgs in my 60 Chevy Apache with a 350 I swapped from my uncle's Corvette. I was like dang I'm about to get worse MPGs than a 350 with a Edelbrock 4 barrel carb😂.
@@BuckeyeBallistics I just hope my top end speed doesn't suck after the swap. I'd still like to be able to hit 140 without redlining. Lol
No you should get at least 19mpg. And I already hit 155mph in mine and still had more rpm to go. Can't remember if it was 4th or 5th, but there were defintaley still more gears left. I calculated it and stock it had enough gearing to go like 365mph with infinite power, 3.73's was still over 200mph redlined in 6th so you have plenty of gear.
@@BuckeyeBallistics glad to hear it! That's plenty fast for me, really looking forward to the jump off the line too! Love your channel man!
Great video. What the story with those a pillar speakers? I’m thinking about upgrading my speakers. Thanks.
Not sure, they were like that when I bought the car.
Any issues with the 3.73 gears as of now? Looking to get these installed but don’t want any issues down the road
No and I'm super glad I did it because it's a massive difference.
👌🏽 looking to purchase them and installed within the next 2 weeks 🙌🏽 thanks for the feedback and is it a daily and highway driver since it’s my day to day vehicle
Yes I daily drive mine. I made a video about the rpm difference if you want to see that, also some pulls with them, and I also just ran the car at the track. All the videos are easily accessed on my Mustang playlist...
Im about to put on 3:73s! How do you like em
Would never go back, best mod I ever did. Check out the latest pull video in the Mustang playlist with em...
Do you always drive with traction off ? I am really scared of Turning it off lol
Yes I turn both traction and stability control off everytime I drive, but that's because I like to drift (slide) and hate when it kicks in and stops me. If you just push the button, it only turns traction control off. If you want to turn both traction & stability control off, you have to hold the brake down and hold the button down for about 10sec and you will see a different message appear saying it is off. If you just turn traction off, it will let the car peel out/spin the tires, *and* it will let it get a little side ways. Once you get too sideways, stability control kicks in and won't let you slide. I hate it, because I know how to control the slide and the stability control always kicks in on me and ruins my slide and makes the car jerk back. If you're scared to turn it off then I would probably just leave it on. I like doing "stupid" stuff in my car and I'm good at it, so I turn it off.
How’d you fix the ‘ometers after installing the gears?
Handheld tuner, SCT X4.
I’m very new with cars an all. I got a 2006 gt 4.6 I got 373 gear kit for it . What is all the steps to get the tune for the gears an what all do I need for the tune an etc I don’t have the slightest clue ab any of it
You just need a handheld tuner to tell it that you have 3.73 gears installed and it will calibrate the speedometer accordingly. I have a video showing how to use my sct x4 that I use. Check out the Mustang playlist on the channel for that and more...
@GunsCars will it also work for a rev x tuner with bama?
@Joseph - I've never used a Rev-X so I couldn't tell you. Email or call whoever makes it and ask them.
To fix the speedo and recalibrate it did you just retune the car with the tuner you had ?
Yes
Nice
with an Auto you should have went with 410!
I had plans to supercharge/turbo it- 4.10's would have been a little short with that much power.
Went from fac 3.31’s to 4.10’s in my 12 5.0 and 2nd and 3rd gear wot pulls are great. 3.73’s are perfect for the 3.7. Ford should’ve never put 2.73’s in them to start with. I get what they were trying to accomplish(first 305hp car with 30mpg’s) but those gears are not for mustangs lol
Yeah I know. After I bought the car, I saw how they got 30mpg highway. But man it just kills performance, especially off the line.
is there a risk to blow up the rear end?
No, why would you think that? Just about every race car on the track has 4.10 or 4.56 gears in the rear.
This break in process kind of reminds me of the break in process I have to do when I do my PowerStop Z23 brakes.
My 2012 is losing power when I climb a hill. It is a big difference. What could it be? Also, a weird sound comes when I climb a hill and the same sound comes when I drive on highway on the 6th gear and the car needs to downshift. It is an automatic v6. Please guide me.
Tons of things can cause power loss- bad gas, about 10 different sensors, ignition coils, spark plugs, clogged cat, carbon buildup, and the list goes on and on. Kinda impossible for me to diagnose without driving it and running tests. Same goes for "weird noises" with zero description whatsoever- I would kinda need to hear it to even be able to guess my dude...
@@BuckeyeBallistics i have put a new driveshaft, egnition coils, spark plugs, maf sensor, throttle body, new cold air intake, new bbk high flow cats. However, the fuel pump, fuel filter and injectors 6 are all over 10 years old. Have no check engine lights and transmission is good to go. Thank you.
@9kellers change all fluids if it's past the maintenance intervals, i recommend changing the rear diff fluid, & transmission fluid
@@josephr.8622 okay, will do. Thank you!
How many miles are on your mustang if you don’t mind me asking I’ve been looking into one but I’ve had terrible luck with reliable cars in the past so I wanted to see if you’ve had any issues and if so around what mileage
It has around 113,000 miles currently. I had to replace the tcm in the transmission a few months ago; video is easily acessed in the Mustang playlist on the channel. Other than that no issues with the car so far and I run it hard, but I've only owned it for 11 months.
How do you tune BBK throttle body and cold air intake?
Get an SCT X4 like I have and order a tune for the mods you have done. If you buy it through MPT like I did, they give you a good discount on the tunes for buying the tuner from them.
@@BuckeyeBallistics thanks
Yup
Is it a automatic
Yeah
I wanna get 4.10s any one got any good comments to reply to me with I have a 3.7 s550
I'm happy with my 3.73's, really glad I didn't go 3.55's because I still dead hook and go from a stop with good tires on it (no spin with the auto and good tires, just a quick chirp on launch). If I was drag racing on drag radials, I would definately want the 4.10's. But for a daily driver street car on street tires, 3.73's is probably best. If you have a manual, I wouldn't go lower than 3.73 regardless or the constant shifting would become annoying. Just my opinion...
automatic lol
I have 4 sticks in the driveway right now so I don't really gIve a shit what you think *LOL*
