different gearing?

06_SMOKE_SE_CC · 05-11-2008, 02:30 PM

hey guys, don't know much about gearing and have a couple questions...

i have the big tow, what's my gearing ratio?
would it benefit me to get the truetrac and put 3.73's in it (i'm getting 35" tires in about a week), or would it be better to get the truetrac and keep the big tow gearing? can i even replace the gearing in the diff, or is this not possible with the big tow package?

i'd go with the 3.70's i dont see it being a problem installing and i think the tru-trac is always good 2x or 4x.just my opinion though!!oh big tow is 3.35 if i remember right.

BT= 3:36. TT is the chit lemme tell you. Maybe I missed something but I am not aware of anyone offering gears for the Titan. I think a few have had custom jobs.

You should be alright with the big tows and 35's. Unless your driving out to Hoppers to get the Tru Trac installed I wouldn't worry about gears. But the labor is the same on gears and tru trac as it is on just one of them. Once they have your diff opened up it's kinda of a 2 for 1 deal on the labor.

there isn't any gear sets currently available for the Titan; however, a few folks have gotten custom jobs done. I am currently running 35's with the Big tow gearing and I can tell you it is not optimal. 5th gear is pretty much worthless now and all other gears are much shorter. If you can find a set of gears for the Titan I highly recommend at least 3:73's.

I'm running a Titan 3.36 rear end with 35's in my Frontier. Yes the gearing sucks but it still rips. I would think you guys would be doing all right with a 100lbs more of torque then myself.

So I found a locking big tow diff on car-part.com. Would it benefit me to purchase this and install it? Are the spline counts different between the 2.94 and 3.36 gear ratios?
