i got the code 43 open 3:08's in my 2wd , and i am going a 2in. sl and 2in. bl with some 32x11.50 15's and 15x8 rims...but anyway i know it will suck with the 3:08's , but will it even move ?

im looking for a x in the junkjard with the 3.73's in it , so i can just take the hole rearend out of it and put in mine. but till then is my 3:08's even going to let me drive it ? and will it hurt anything ?

You can drive it yes, but your mileage and powerband will SUCK HUGE!!

You have a 5 speed or automatic trans?

the OHV 4.0L will get you moving, but with 3.08 and 32's it will be slow getting across the intersection and getting ont he highway, etc. ONce you are at highway speeds you should get incredible mileage however, just dont expect to pass people going up hills :)
 






i thought u were going to buy that 4wd ex...

ya i think i am , geting the cash up at x-mas is hard to do ... but i am still keep'n the 92 to play with...

and its a automatic trans...
 






Its going to suck ass for a while :) Just pretend you are driving a geo metro 3 cyl with 3 of your large friends inside, that should give you an idea of what it will be like...take about 15 minutes to get up to speed and if any steep hills come...well you get the idea.
 






lol ! nice ! im a cop so i shouldnt speed anyways ! and its flat around here for the most part...
 






Cops dont speed? hahahaha thats a new one on me! Some of them are great drivers but many of them look like they used to be taxi cab drivers....

I never see cops use their signals or obey "all the rules" :) hahaha


hahaha just teasin, but seriously cabbies drive like crap.
 






i sead "shouldnt speed" !!! lol...
 






i had 3.27's and 32"s for a while... I would never do it again, not worth it in my opinion. death
 






i have 3.27s and 33s. its not that bad but it is kinda annoying. i have a 5 speed so im always screwing with the clutch and gears.

oh, btw, the gas milage does suck at freeway speeds. the rpms may be low, but my foot sure is generous with the gas at those speeds. cant even go into OD at times.
