Thanks for the update. So do you have enough power now to hold 65 up hills or do you kind of get a running start? I haven't done anything and I may not...I like having overdrive on flat or down hill and when I think about it I can climb steep hills in 3rd at 65 without winding it out too bad. It's always going to be a compromise for me with such a big gap between 3rd and 4th no matter what. Even if I regeared to 4.88 and stayed on 31s it would help me use od more but 3rd would wind out quicker. Think I just need to get used to what I have but I like knowing I could go to 33s and forget about od as an option.
Thanks again for update...glad you like it!
I feel like i have enough power to stay at 60-65 on hills. There is a nice scenic parkway right by me which has some pretty steep climbs throughout. I need to put some miles on the gears before I drain the fluid out so I'll prob take a ride through there and see how she does on the hills.
