Hmm do you mean 24160? That's a R&P set for the front diff. The front diff regear isn't the problem, it's the rear diff that's different for the K2 (2014+) trucks.

err yup 24160

Thanks thats a bummer...... i dont hate the 3.08 from a stop you do have to gun it a bit more

If you don't have the money for the regear right now, a custom tune is another option. I have 3.08's and 33's. The truck was terrible and the stock trans tune meant constant short shifting. Got a Blackbear tune and it's a huge improvement. The torque management is probably the biggest killer. A tune isn't a complete solution but it's more than enough to hold me over until I have the spare cash to re-gear.

I am in the same boat, I want to purchase the kit from East Coast Gear, but cannot find an installer that feels competent to install it or they say they wont warrenty/install other peoples parts.

I am quite happy with my 4.10's.

That's what I am wanting to get.

 

I have found 2 places willing and that I am comfortable with, only problem is they are both 3 hrs + away. So as for the break in process, I can't drive straight home. They recommended 5-10 heat cycling, change at 100 miles and again at 1000. After that normal intervals but no towing for 3k.

Those are bs intervals. Do one change at 500 miles and then you're fine. Wait until 1k miles to tow. I've have yet to have an issue in my 02 and they have 20k miles (really hard miles) on them. Those are 4.88's

Maybe, but I still don't think it's the best idea to get it done and drive straight home 3 hrs 70+ over a mountain pass with some steep grades.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
