2006 Gear change

[ajnwaterman]

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to have my gears changed in Northern PA or Southern NY. I live in Painted Post, NY 14870.

Thanks

Andrew

Just curious what are you changing them to? The 04 had 4.11 and the 05-06 have the 4.56. I hear there is not much gain going to the 4.88.

Thanks dom, I'm flattered you compared your intellect to mine,.... but relieved the comparison didn't come from anyone else.

I have a 2006 RC. I was talking to Devin today from Unitrax about 5.13 gears. This is just a weekend truck and it never really sees the highway, I would like more low end around town. Just make it more fun to drive.

I have an '04, and had the 4.88's put in... It was a great torque improvement and kept me at just over 60 going from 2nd to 3rd.... I would almost venture to say that going to 5.13's may be a little too low... anyway sorry I couldn't answer your question, but just my .02. My truck is just a weekend toy too... and the 4.88's seem to be perfect to me.... but then again I haven't tried the 5.13's...

With 5.13's, first and second will be useless without slicks. On the plus side, you should be able to get into 6th around 45.

I can get into 6th at 50 on flat roads and pull decent mpg.

I talked to someone from unitrax, they told me anything above 4.88 can lead to stuff busting.

I would be on the 5.13's in a heartbeat but a lot of my driving is interstate.
Would have to be a blast to drive.

Really...I talked to Devin from unitrax and he made it sound like 5.13 would not cause any problems..

He is checking to see if my truck has 4.10 or 4.56. He said if I have 4.56 now going to 4.88 won't make a big enough change to feel, thats why he recommened 5.13

But if my truck has 4.10's then I will be going to 4.88's for sure.

do you have 4.88's now? have you been in anyone's truck with 5.13's?

 

[Slitherbeast]

you say you are an 06 RC so you will have the 4.56. probably won't notice the difference much. use the money to upgrade for torque!

Like??? I was also looking at a SCT by Roeracing. I only have a B&B catback now.

 

[Slitherbeast]

Cat delete is best bang for the buck. Lowering kit. Throttle body. These trucks really respond to nitrous. !

Someone was thinking about changing gears. What do y'all think about that?
