Regear group buy

just getting ready to leave... Miguel was a pleasure to work with

 

Glad to hear! I still need to make a dayum appointment. My schedule is all over the place

 

no vibration or whines/sounds, seems good slightly higher rpms at freeways speeds. made two cool down stops per the recommendation of the shop.

 

Just wandered around back and took a picture of the truck up in the air, then watched the Technicians do their stuff for a bit. one on the front diff another on the rear.... the polish looked good from 10' away or so.

 

Do they only have 1 bay?

 

4 bays

 

Just finished a 1400 mile road trip pulling a 7k lb trailer, truck performed flawlessly. Pulling was much nicer and smoother than with stock gears.

 

Did you still use tow haul or lock to 4th gear?

 

Nice put that thing to the test

 

Neither.

With gears it already felt like tow/haul was on...just smoother.

I drove from San Diego to the Grand Canyon (up the 78 to 95 to 40 route), down to Hereford and back to SD. Plenty of climbs and extended grades. On the highway flats it hung between 2000 and 2200 rpms at 70 mph in 6th (very sweet!). On grades around 5% and above it would kick down to 5th or 4th till that steep was over. I would say 90% of the time on that trip it was in 5th or 6th. (Truthfully, I never locked it in 4th even before gears as that seemed to keep it over 3k rpms all the time).

 

Finally made my appointment. Revolution gears with rem polish

 

Sooo how are your gears??

 

So far they’re great! Did three heat cycles on the way home. Did two more with the trailer. Just went on a road trip with the trailer up to northern CA. Gears are performing well. Made a big difference both towing and not towing definitely worth it in my opinion. Transmission temps are down from before also. No whine and no issues. I also got Revolution with REM

 

Here goes nothing!

 

you will love the results... looks like you need new tires....dirty sevens?

 

Yea those tires are pretty gone.. I got 37s on order and also brakes and rotors

 

whichbtire did you go with?

 

how did the install go

 

It went good. Truck feel so different lol

 

If you have a scan tool, it's interesting to watch load % and TC lockup. Takes a little bit to realize its not slipping. It just upshifts and almost immediately hits lockup. Still throws me for a loop sometimes, especially if I can't hear the exhaust note leading up to it.

Congrats to all of you.

 

Huh? Lol

 

You said it feels different. I also have 5.29s. The biggest difference I've noticed (with 33's anyways) was with how excited it is to get into higher gears and lock the torque converter.

OBD II readers will show you how awesome it is.
