What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

The game was good ! I like the Corvette home run laps

 

Looking more like 5.29's would be the winner. Do either of you guys tow regularly with yours? I have a trailer behind mine almost weekly, I used to be much more frequent. They range in size and weight from a home made truck bed trailer (seen in one of the pics from my post) to a 2200lb dual axle car trailer loaded to capacity with hay or scrap, and my travel trailer. I'm rather apprehensive about towing with aftermarket gears, but so be it.

I make no such claim to being any smarter than you but that's what I was figuring as well.

I've seen the pics, your truck makes it out on the trail often enough that that term doesn't apply to you. It just looks identical to the regional center parking lot. It's just east of I25 on Lincoln in south Denver. I've been there frequently for training back when I was a tech.

 

That was cool and how they brought the Nascar traditions to the game from that to the pre-game driving the players around the track like nasca does the drivers and other things. Hopefully if they do it again it goes a little smoother and the Good Lord doesn't rain out day 1. Saturday evening was a disaster inside the stadium. 80,000 people stuffed inside trying to get out of the rain and standing in line for food for at least and hour, vendors running out of food due to evening hitting the stands at 1 time but I can say they never ran out of beer

 

Not regular towing but I do. I picked up a solid 2mpg going from 4.30’s to 5.29’s towing my rzr. Get a good set of gears from @dirtydeeds and get a good shop to install them and you won’t have any issues.

 

What RPMs do you turn running 80-85 on the freeway?

 

2300-2500 or so in 6th.

 

37's?

 

What brand of gears did you go with? Front and rear?

 

34’s.

 

Sierra. Call @dirtydeeds for them. $2100 shipped for gears and master install kits.

 

What made you regear with 34's?

 

Thank you

 

Because the truck was a dog. I wasn't about to accept towing in 4th gear as normal. If I could have gone deeper in gears I would have.

 

I put 295/70 r18 falken wildpeak at4w's which i thaught were 34's range but actual measurements are close to the ko2 35's and noticed a considerable difference in driving, still ran fine but definitely could tell it slowed its roll. Just got the OTT tune done and that has helped. Maybe when the funds open up I'll look into gearing also

 

I noticed the same with just 315/70/17’s.

 

Quad trailers and construction supplies mainly. Some vehicle trailers for an old Merc, but thats about it.

Gear wise, I would get them from Revolution and spend the extra for REM and cryo. I had mine done at Ayer's in PHX and then sent directly to ZUK himself. I dropped the diffs to him, and picked them up in 2 weeks, and reinstalled them myself. Best money spent and he is a just a damn good person.

Whatever gears you choose, def get REM and cryo....no break in required, and as quiet as the factory gears.

You can see how bad the previous shop did the first install:
