Give more details of your truck. Year and options, what mirrors you have, trans temp gauge and RPM when you are cruising at 70 MPH.

 

My Nissan is an 09 KC. I have the extendable outside mirrors, trans temp gauge in the speedometer gauge, at 70mph the tach reads 2000rpm, have a tow mode button in the center of the dash down near the floor, also have the electric shift toggle switch to manually downshift on the shift lever.

Wouldn't recommend lol

 

Sounds like he has the big tow package..you should have the 3.36 gears..

You wouldn't need to regear for that size of tire.

 

Not to hi-jack this thread but I know for sure my 2014 has the 2.94 gears and I would need to upgrade to the 3.36 for the TT. Does anyone know what else would need to happen other than swapping the ring & pinion? Would the ecm need to be reflashed?

Any help would be appreciated.

2014 Titan SV Crew Cab 4X4

Thanks Again,

Ol’ Chief did you get this done, i’m looking into this on my 2012 titan

 

You would also have to change your front transfer case too, or you can kiss going anywhere in 4wd, ECM would have to be reflashed or your cruise control will not work among other things.

 

When you say front transfer case do you mean the front diff?

Thanks Again,

Dave

 

Yes, front diff ring and pinion will have to be swapped. Has to match the rear ornyoull get all sorts of binding unless you only engage in very slippery stuff and disengage before you get back to firm ground.

 

Thanks Again. Now I'm off to find a ring & pinion set (2)

Put the truck up on a lift. Put the truck in neutral. Put the tire valve of one of the rear tires in the six o clock position. Make a small mark on the rear drive shaft in the three or nine o clock position which ever as long as it is in the middle facing you.

Turn the wheel one complete revolution.

If it's a 3.36:1, the drive shaft will go around approx. 3 1/3 times to the wheel going around once.

If it was the 2:93, the drive shaft will go around less then three times.

 

Yeah, I meant front diff, was typing quickly at work and wasn't thinking/reading what I was typing.

 

If you want to give me the VIN I decode it with the FAST parts catalog and all options.

Both diff's need the gears to match, would need a different speed sensor to get correct MPH readings. Computer should be reflashed for proper shift points, since it has big mirrors and tow switch it should have towing gears. Why do you think it doesn't or how did you determine it has the 2:93 ratio?

 

Can you plug my VIN in and tell me what gear ratio that my 06 Titan rear-end has? VIN: 1N6BA07B06N526800

 

I crawled under the truck and looked atthe data tag that was attached to the diff housing, and it's NOT the 3.36. I've got the tow switch, but the small mirrors.

Why the speed sensor change? I understand the ecm reflash to reflect the proper gear ratio, shift points, and for adjusting the air fuel mixture.

Thanks Again,
Ol'Chief

 

I found out that you must have the trans gauge and extended mirrors for 3.36
I went to several off road stores which only has parts for Jeep, Ram, Toyota, Chevy, and Ford but NO TITAN.
I found a place called Unitrax in Anaheim Ca
they hooked me up and I am able to tow my 5th wheel toyhauler and I believe the price was fair considering no one else would consider the gear swap.
LT285/65/18 No problem towing fully load now

 

Reviving an old thread!
I have a 2014 CC 4x4. Has Tow Mode and Trans Temp. I had to add tow mirrors. I also added Firestone Air Bags. I pulled up my VIN and found I have only 2.94 gears.

Whats my Tow Cap? 7200 or 9300?

If its 7200, will changing to a 3.36 increase tow cap to 9300? Seems to me thats the only difference in Big Tow vs Non Big tow, on mine at least.

comments, suggestions and costs would be appreciated!

 

2.94 = 7300, 3.36=9300

 

thats what I expected.

I believe just the gearing can be changed, correct? not the entire diff/s

 

Easier than plugging the vin into a decoder - which may not give you the gear ratio anyway - is to just check your engine RPM at 70MPH. If you're turning ~1750RPM, you have 2.94 gears. If you're turning ~2000RPM, you have 3.36 gears.

 

Have 07 running 275/65-18 mastercraft rebuilt rear axle 2yrs ago myself would not re commend has alittle bearing howl but may be why haven't had any probs. Titan wing and prayer good luck
