Hi;
I'm looking for opinions for changing gearing on my D100
It arrived in my possession with a 225 6 cyl and a 4 speed trans. The issue is that the 1st gear is a "granny gear"....way to low to be of any use to me and with the gearing so low...60mph has the pedal to the floor.
I'm told that the differential has 3:92 gears, or something like that ( not really my field of expertise), in a 8-3/4" rear end. I'm told by some that 3:23 should make it so that the 1st gear will actually be needed and the truck could hit 70mph.
Anyone ever try this?
I'm not trying to make this anything other than a cool old ride.
Thanks
