1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

@VR6T it's been a month, almost to the day... What's the official review of the 4.08 gears?

 

4.10s with 40’s ain’t gonna get it. Need 5.88s with a 22r motor and 40’s. And still a dog.

 

Way more torque, fuel eco about 15.36 mpg average. Pulled a 6 inch wood chipper (the same ones the towns use to chip limbs at the curb) my sister rented, didn't even feel it. 4.08 gears are A OK and I would recommend them.

Just need that locker and it'll be perfect.

Also burn outs are way easier now

 

I suddenly and violently want to wrap my tail gate....

 

Also also....... Grease your ball joints people

 

So did your avg mpg go up or down?

I always find it interesting some people report it going up when they regear, whereas mine went down with 4.56 gears.

 

We should make tailgate wraps a thing around here.
Who's got the funniest, ugliest, or most bombastic taste? Haha

 

Those are the people who gun it at the lights and now find they don’t need to do it so much with the larger gear ratio.

 

Our balls have joints? Hold on let me go check, BRB.

 

Down by about 1.27 mpg

 

Our balls are high

 

Astro Glide for those ball joints bud

 

Meh we got a dog of an engine in OE configuration, so no need to gun it really. You're still going to be slow, just loudly lol

 

Not bad. I lost about 2mpg with 4.56

 

What really fucked me was the MPH read out. I am reading 4 over what I'm actually doing from 65 to 75, and 5 to 7 over 76 to 90. So I need to be doing 97 on the dial to be doing 90 actual.

RPMs according to the OBD port reader are still accurate +/- 100 from the dash to the digital read out.

 

Those are some serious pizza cutters. Those motor cycle tires? Sweet suspension though.

 

Why is the tongue main bar so long?

 

Yeah, you'll get used to it though.
My speedo is ~9% off, so when it says 50 I'm going 55, but when it says 80, I'm going almost 90.

 

I found the perfect camper.

 

Al Bundy called, he wants his couch back

 

So the opposite of him then…..

 

Yes. Probably has something to do with the difference between 00-04 and 05-06

 

I know mine is off with 285/70/17 and 4.88
I found the govner headed back on THE 10 WB and I assumed this stupid car was only doing 70-75, but everyone else was flying around them aswell, trying to scoot by I thought the engine choked or skipped a tooth, I was probably doing 90 or close when it said 80. now I know it’s limits

 

Yeah the 3 speed with OD trans mission and final drive out put ratio

 

I think the 00-04 get speedo signal from transmission and I think 05-06 get it from the wheel speed sensors.

 

That can't be right, that means the TCM would have to be completely different, well at least the trigger single input would have to be
