I have a Cortex in my 03. I couldn't be happier. I'm running SAS'd with 35's and 4.88 gears and my speedo is now spot-on. Didn't get a lot more power out of it, but it feels like it reaches peak...

I know how you feel. I think I spent more time second guessing myself than it took to do the build. Now I'm about to need some tranny work and seriously considering a 5.0 swap instead. Keep tossing...

BTW: I still get 18 mpg highway with my set-up and I'm sitting 8 inches over stock. Don't let the fuel mileage scare ya! It can still be kept in the ” affordable” range

Yeah, the 4.10s are definitely no good with 35s. The truck will struggle in overdrive at normal highway speeds and it's hard on the trans. I drove mine for several weeks like that until I had enough...

I didn't have a very hard time, but I did a full rebuild at the same time as the gear change. A comprehensive kit will include all of the shims, bearings, etc. that make for an easy install. However,...

I'm currently running 35's and 4.88's. Does pretty good on the highway. Mine is a 5r55e (auto 5 spd) trans, though. Revs stay right in the sweet spot at highway speed. Around 2250 to 3000 between 60...

Re: Oklahoma Rangers!

The rear end on that one is an open differential, so any 80w90 gear oil will do fine. To change it, you just remove the bolts in the inspection cover and pry the cover back to drain it. The cover may...
