I find people are always scared to go to low. Most of today's hi reving engines get better gas milage running at a higher rpm. You want your max torque rpg to be your causing rpm, or close to it. So take a Toyota 2.7 it makes max torque around 3900 rpm. So you will get way better milage with that engine running 3200 rpm at 75 then you will running 2000 rpm at 75. So you want to match your gear ratio, tire size, and engine rpm for best results.

basically answered all my questions in one video, thanks!

One of the best KZfaq videos On this topic really good shop, super in-depth explanation, I wonder with the thinner thickness of the individual grooves on the ring, since the ratio goes up, he mentioned that the stock one has thicker parts to the ring as it’s a lower ratio, I wonder how that affects durability, sorry for a wrong terminology I’d come up from Arizona to get this done with you guys Goal is strength and reliability in the gears over all

Awesome video! Thanks for the tips! I just lifted my 2020 Tundra Crewmax 3.5” RC lift with 34.5” Nittos… Noticed a slight hesitation going from gear 1 to 2, but not terrible. Everything else is smooth. Should I think about regearing or is this just to be expected? Worried about transmission longevity.

The only downside to regearing to a higher numerical axle ratio is the fact that the small input pinion will necessarily be weaker than a larger input pinion. That can turn into a point of failure if you tow heavy loads.

I really want to lift my 2nd gen Tundra and run 37in tires and regear to probably 5.29 gears from the stock 4.30. The problem is I can't do it all in one go. That's a good $12k all at once. I can only do it in steps, probably one thing at a time over a 2-4 year period or longer. I can't figure out if I should to the regear before the larger tires, or after. If I do the regear before, that means I have super low gearing on stock size tires which will very likely negatively affect my fuel economy, which is kind of important now that gas is $5 a gallon. But if I do the larger tires before the regear I know that will have a reduction in fuel economy as well. Either way I am stuck with the consequences of the decision for probably at least 2 years, if not longer. So I don't really know which way to go.

So regearing would allow a lower RPMs on the highway ultimately saving fuel? I don't plan on raising the vehicle I don't plan on getting bigger tires I just want to get better fuel economy because fuel is expensive in Canada.

What about a 2WD I toe a JetSki with tires size 285 75 16 planning on putting a bad rack on in the future…is re-gearing necessary?

i have a 2007 v6 2wd 4runner with 35s and i plan to keep it on 35s , what gears should i put in it if im just wanting better highway and drive ability

I have a 2004 tundra 2wd I’m trying to get more torque to my wheels what should I go with?

I have a 79 Toyota 4cyl on 33’s that struggles to get to 55mph would regearing help top speed?

What is the best option for 21 tundra 4x4 on 35 what type reheat would I need ?

So I have an 80 series and I’m adding 35’s but won’t off road or any towing. Just daily driver. Would I be fine or do I have to regear

Question sir Going with my choice largest tire size 33s and carring say mid-weight Bumpers winch skid plates cargo bed rack. Not a lot of cargo stuff ( Camping Gear ) but towing a teardrop trailer ( weight about 1200lbs ) what would be best on gear ratio ? 4:88 or 5:29 ?? Thoughts please . I dont also do hard Off reading mostly trail exploring type off roading I'd say moderate to medium difficulty trails . Thoughts ?? TIA

I have a hilux and don’t really understand this stuff but I switched to 33s and I noticed that my truck is having trouble in uphill and I want to get the power back because I want to tow like 1.5tons to 2tons max what gear should i put in it? It’s a work truck i daily it. Please help me

I am looking to get 2010+ fj cruiser for overlanding. Rear and front steel bumpers, roof top tent, and running 35s on a 3 inch lift? I have heard none experienced installs end up breaking the gears because how the teeth are touching. I was looking at 488s. What would the general cost be and now long would this take? Thank you

2021 sport crew cab long bed. I believe it has a 3.91 what about going to a 3.73 or 3.42? I’m not rock crawling but just a gravel road maybe some into 4wd. I pull a 1200# camper, that’s loaded. I’m running ridge grappler 265/65/17. I’m looking for better fuel mileage and not banging in and out of gears

So, if my goal is to turn my Toyota Sequoia into a daily driver that I can take most places, and have no desire to add any lift or increase the tire size, would changing out the gear ratio increase my fuel economy? To clarify, I'm thinking specifically of the Nitro 5.29 ratio gears. If a different gearset would accomplish this, I'd be interested in knowing what that is.

Should you re-gear a 2wd tacoma with 32inch tires and a 3inch lift.

I have a 3gen v6 supercharged 4runner with lots of modifications body armor rear tire carrier front bumper roof top tent with 285 70 17 tiers. What gear ratio should I go with my 4runner 4.88 or 5.29?

Hello. I have a 1988 Toyota 4x4 with a rebuilt 22RE I changed the tires and wheels from 235/75 15 to 265/70 17, everything else is stock. I want to make it my daily commuter. The problem I’m having: the elevation where I live 5600’ and I drive to almost 7000’ daily sometimes twice a day. The Toyota loses power going up the hill. Will regearing help me out or what do you recommend.

Can I regear to 5.29 if I just want to run 33's on a 4 cylinder tacoma?

What is a regear?

I have 4ci 2019 sr5

First and most important reason....its a dog just like the underpowered 6 cyl jeep wranglers.....if they would put in a small v8...327 to 350 cu inch motor ...you would have enough power to go up 1 or 2 tire sizes.......thats my actual experience...no b.s. ....lets go brandon🤡🤡🤡
