The fastest Titans in the 1/4 mile are all little tows, trapping between 96-100MPH.

my tow is bigger than yours

don't know if it matters *that* much. probably wouldn't want to go 100 in a titan (not on these tires anyway)

OK I read through the whole thing and maybe I missed some stuff, but I have a couple questions.

1. I have '08 LE 4wd little tow CC. to switch to BT I assume I would have to do the front differential too? right? how hard is that, and why don't I see much talk about it? is the gearing the same? are the actual gears different or could I use rear gears in front?

2. Any idea if it is possible to add a factory Temp. guage? if not what recommendations do you have?

Works better if they match, yes. Nobody (AFAIK) makes gears for the front diff yet. Best bet is to find a wrecked 4x4 BT or OR truck of the same year and swap all the gears.

For '08, all Titans came with the trans temp guage.

My mistake, it's '09-up.

Yes I think you can get a gauge cluster with the trans temp and swap it. Not sure what that does to the odometer, though. An aftermarket gauge that actually displays temperature is more useful, and cheaper in the long run.

A couple of threads:

Finally installed Trans Temp
