02 S-10 gearing question.
Here’s one for the gurus. I looked up the truck and google lied. Said it had 3:73 gears but the manual says 4:10. At 65 it’s at least 2500 rpm (I will edit tomorrow with actual rpms). I would like to drop them lower so here’s the situation:
I have a GearVendors unit in the 93 3500 truck and it drops rpms by 500. I cut the driveshaft and installed it myself. Would it benefit me to put it in the S-10 or should I leave it alone and sell the unit? Pretty sure it would sell between 1500-2000 which i could use towards gas.
I just got the truck and my plans are to go camping. Some trips will be over 1000 miles round trip. Right now I avg 25 and fill up every 300 miles or so (there’s something wrong with the sending unit. PO said it will run out before empty). I will carry an extra 30 gallons in the back and use a pump to fill when needed.
What are y’all’s thoughts?
