looking to change my axle ratio

So you can then agree that if YOU had turn that drive shaft with your own hands that it would be easier to move the truck with the 3.90's in it vs the truck with the 2.64's.

 

Exactly what I thought. You're confusing power, torque, and force which are three different subjects. You're also neglecting the overall ratio which is key especially when talking about direct drive setups.

Follow me here son....

2.64 X 1 (10th gear) = 2.64
3.55 X .73 (10th gear) = 2.5915

Actually the direct drive has MORE LEVERAGE!

 

Again neglecting OVERALL RATIO. Yes the 3.90s will have more leverage in each gear, just as much as 3.55s with an overdrive or 2.64 with a direct.

You need to take into consideration the transmission. You will not understand the subject matter until you do. THe engine does the work on the input shaft not the driveshaft.

 

And all you proved is that you can dodge a question when the only logical answer is one that you are afraid to give. I am not talking about transmissions here, but gears, that has been my point this entire time, I have not tried to hide behind this.

 

That's the problem.


You're just talking about gearing. I'm talking about the complete package.

THE ENGINE DOES ITS WORK ON THE INPUT SHAFT, NOT THE DRIVESHAFT

 

Did I use words that are too big "Dad"?
By all means, just like someone else, keep preaching the KR stuff all day long. The rest of us will carry on cracking up.....
BTW, does my 13 speed have a 1:1 ratio? Yeah, I thought so. So why is it, I keep getting left by folks with deeper gearing than me, but less HP?
There is an old proverb, as has been correctly said before, 2 ways to put more to the ground, gearing and power. Thus why 4 cylinder vehicles always have lower gearing than their 6 cylinder counterparts, with everything else being equal in the transmission world. Go look it up, some here are good at it.

WOW! it has been a fun show this weekend. hats off to rank. I enjoyed that a lot. Oscar, behave,(not) time to go back to the real world with my gearbound job! leftlane-- I don't know about you?

 

Me neither!
