Can you tell us how much mpg changed from 4.10 to 4.88 gears? How does it drive with the regearing? What tire size did you have before regear and what tire size are you running after the regear? Thanks
Hi Ray, My mpg got a bit better on longer road trips on 37s. I had 373 and 31 inch tires, swapped to 35s, and a few months later swapped to 37s on 3.73 gears. My mpg was in the 16s with any of those combinations. When I swapped to 488 gears I saw 17s and even 18 mpg. Its because the trans shifts sooner to 7th and 8th gear.
@@c130aviator I have maxtow with 4.10 gears with 35s and get 15-17, planning to regear and do lockers at the same time, was on the fence between 4.88 and 5.13 gears
Good info! Sure love what you’ve done with your Jeep
Good stuff.
Nice looks great if don’t have lockers is royal purple okay to use
Yes, royal purple is fine in anything but arbs.
@@c130aviator are you saying not to use arb lockers
@@raycabrera941 I recommend arb and royal purple but not together in the same diff. RP ruins the seals.
I have the same truck. Can you share a parts list on your axles?

@@raycabrera941 I think the 488 is the better all around gear. If you are going to see bigger than 37s and rock climbing, go 5.13s
