Welcome back!

I wonder what gearing you have? YOu didn't mention engine, but if the V-6 and 31" tire option, it should be 4.88s.

I've heard some towing packages can include a step up in gearing. Check your gear code for us. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />


My gear code is g144 and I have the 3.0. If I read that right I have the 8" 4.875:1 w/o limited slip. Hmmmmm The truck has 31X10.5's on it but the plate in the door jam suggests 225/75R15's which should be a 28.5" tire. The speedo reads low compared to my gf's civic. I had 61MPH when she had 65MPH.

I'll peak under it tomorrow and see what it has for a tranny cooler. I have a sort of theory that trucks with tranny coolers have longer lasting transmissions at least based on what I have casually observed in Ford Explorers.

There's no doubt in my mind it came with 31" tires. Only 31" tire trucks came with 4.88 gears. It's pretty common for the Vin plate sticker to say 225/75R-15 when the truck came with 31" tires. I think Toyota was just lazy when printing out the stickers. Besides, how many customers really know the difference? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

4.88 gears is a good thing, especially with an auto trans.
What the mods plan?
