From what I’ve read manuals can benefit from 4.88 but Nitro gears will walk you through it. Here is some more info: my speedometer stayed the same and my cruise control works even better now!
$3,000 for front and rear diffs with Nitro 5.29 gears and shipping included. $1,500 back after core return. I had a great shop put them in for $850. So $2,350 I thought is a great investment. But there is a shop in Castlerock Colorado that will do all in a day or two for $2,700.
So I bought a front clam shell and third member for my 2017 Tacoma OR AT with OME 2.5” lift and 33” tires from ECGS geared with Nitro 5.29. If anybody is thinking about re-gearing their 3rd Gen, do it! The gear searching is over. At 75 mph I am running 2,300 rpm. Which is way better than...
If it has boost (supercharger or turbo) or high compression heads go higher octane if not just run normal octane fuels. Mechanic tested common sense rulez here!
I own a 2017 Off-road stock. But looking to install OME 3” lift with 285s but just curious if larger tires with play havoc with 6 speed tranny gearing? Any info appreciated.
