Gear help needed
As you guys now I have a T56 in my trucks. My 06 aka Big Red has 373 gears with 275x55x17. Well after putting about 200 miles on it this weekend it does not like 6th gear unless I am rolling and even the I can not maintain the speed. I know the truck is heavy but I do not want a gear that will make First useless. The 410 gear is out because that will not make a big difference for the money. So with that do you think a 433 with this tire size will ultimately give me a 410 ratio?
Also Mr. Gibbs has 373 gears with a 275x45x20 do you think a 433 or 410 would be best in that truck?
I know the TA and the Camaro came with a 342 gear and 26' tires and I am trying to get the ratio close to the 26' tire with 373 gears.
Thanks for your help.

What are your turning in the RPM range with that kind of gearing?
That just seems to be soooo much gear for the street? My Gibbs truck would just spin on the street with those gears?
