Just made the 3.42 to 4.10 gear swap...
FINALLLLLY swapped my gears out for some real ones. Went from the stock 3.42 to some 4.10s. It is a HUGE difference. Now the super loose 3200 stall dont seem so bad anymore. haha One thing is for sure, the ol 6.0 starts pulling hard up top. Its hell from a 45-50 roll, where it actually hooks.
Anyhow, im ready to get some runs in to see where this puts me. im hoping for mid 8's in the 1/8th. Before the gears it ran 8.83 @ 80 with traction issues. Mods are in sig. |
congrats man, i still have some 323s in the ole crew cab, i want to do the ole tru trac and 410 swap myself
|
What are your plans to make it hook?
|
have you noticed if it affected the fuel economy any? thats the only thing keeping me from doing the swap, i do a lot of freeway driving.

More meat.
I already have traction bars to eliminate wheel hop. They work great. Mostly my hook issue is tire size right now. I am running 255/xx/18 or something like that on my caddy wheels. I got some 275/45/17 E/T Streets for the track. On the street those work ok but there is NO launch, or roll from anything under 25 without lots of spin. Bigger tires..period. |
and as far as gas mileage, IDK yet. Havent put but about 60 miles on it since the swap.

Congratz...
I did the same swap a few weeks back when my G80 went out. Best money spent so far on the gears and the tru trac. My mileage really hasn't been effected to bad. |
im convinced now... im getting 4.10s
