  • In this video, I discuss some of the reasons to change your axle gears, as well as a formula to calculate the best gear ratio based on your tire size. All the parts you'll need to regear front and rear axles: amzn.to/2cD5z1L

I just bought a Dakota 4x4 that the guy put a rear end out of the Dakota suburban, which is very high, and you can't go in 4 wheel on pavement or hard surfaces, as it fights itself. Gotta find a stock gearset.

    @arcburn3364 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Very good video. I’m not a 4 wheeler, but this applies to street tires too. To keep things clear in my mind I’ve always equated gear ratios as revolutions rather than numbers of teeth unless I’m looking at actual gears to determine the ratio. So a drive shaft would turn 4.11 revolutions for every single tire rotation in a 4.11 rear end for example. I especially liked your formula for determining the gear set needed for a tire change.

    @Str8sixfan 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    another rule of thumb I was told years ago...and it too is a 'guideline' to compare to. I would still use your calculation too. But, it goes like this: for each inch in diameter you increase, it's like subtracting .1 from your rear end ratio. So for tetnas, when you jumped 4" in diameter, you needed to come up with an extra .4 for your 3.07s...so 3.47s, rounding up to 3.55s

      +TxGamer13 I used 4:88 gears and 33" tires. Most guys will say that's too low. But I love it!! I bought my Jeep to run good at slow speeds in the dirt, and I was willing to sacrifice some high speed performance. You can go 65 on the highway at about 2600 rpm, but you don't want to go much faster. However, the low range is creepy crawly. It Is Awesome. I have a TJ with the 4.0 and the AX15 transmission.

If he was giving legal advice/explanations on something and a person said as a lawyer myself I have to tell you that you did a great job you'd be an idiot to bash that person. It's the same thing.

    Great stuff, ty. One little technical point just because I'm an engineer. You mean 20 thousands not 2. Keep up the great work.

    • @JoeBruin99
      @JoeBruin99 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      He meant 2 hundredth. Mathematically the same. But easier for non-math peeps to understand than 20 thousands. No trailing zeros needed here.

      It sure feels like Hoth when the temps go below zero. You're going to love the 4.88's. Your jeep will feel like a brand new car.

    Awesome Video. I'm just getting into and preparing to start off-roading (again after years away from it) and will be 'building my own' Jeep. This has been extremely helpful. And delivered in a wonderful way = smart, down-to-earth, not at all condescending (and there is zero sarcasm here which is Abby Normal for me).
    Thank you. Really just an EXCELLENT video demonstration.

    on gear fudging, don't you mean hundredths, not thousandths

    • @leifbennett1600
      @leifbennett1600 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The difference is in the hundredths place (0.02), but the difference is about four thousandths of the base number (0.02 / 4.88 = 0.004 )

    • @lockcracker
      @lockcracker 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      If you go to a machinist and ask him to cut one thousanths off, he will cut .001". If you tell him to cut ten thousandths he will cut .010". If you ask him to cut a hundred thousandths or one hundred thousanths he will cut .100". If you ask for a tenth he will cut .0001. I think that is why Mike asked the question.

    honestly had no idea how to match gear rations to tire size or even knew that it mattered what gear ratios you match with tire size before this. was just gonna slap some new tires on my truck. super helpful now i know to change gear ratio for best performance & best mileage.

  • @AaronsAutomotive
    @AaronsAutomotive 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    In theory you could run 2 different gears like 4:56 and 4:88 as long as you tire sizes match to the gearing for instance if your wanting to run 35 front and 37 rear or 35/40's or 37/40's, I got s friend who's building a 4x4 69 Camaro and is running 33's front and 44 rears with the proper gear setup to not blow his transfercases, transmission, or anything else.
