ok so I got new wheels and tires today... some BFG AT's 31x10.5/ 15 on some 15x8 rock crawler steel wheels....gets the job done....but they didnt have my lugs in stock so i have to wait till wednesday ......and my truck has stock difs wich is 3.27 gearing i believe...correct me if im wrong....the axel code is 41... i was going to regear eventually but if you keep reading i may have to sooner....
ANYWYAS.... i had my truck in my friends garage today and i was thinkin about checkin my axel because my truck makes a nasty noise engagin to reverse or drive and it sounded like rear end....so i had it on a flat surface....set the Ebrake put the tranny in nuetral... i went under the truck and i could rotate the axel like 1/8th turn....seems like my diff is worn but this may be normal.... but it doesnt do it on his silverado..... and if i have my tranny on the x in park and the ebrake off i can roll my truck back and forth like 5 inches but the axel does not rotate at all....
i dont want it to be worn....what do you guys think, i mean itll give me reason to regear and maybe drop a detroit in the back....if i do regear 4.10 or 4.56? im on 31's now maybe 33's in the future with possiblity of towing like a baja bug or jet skis or something of that nature.... i dont ever go much above 65-70 mph on the highway too...saves gas, hehe
oh also quick question unrelated my truck will cruise at 1800 RMP's on the highway at 70mph....how is everyone else doin?
