Hey guys. Like the topic says Ive got a 2016 Sierra 6.2 and 8speed auto. Im modding the truck for a buddy. I installed a 5" rough country lift and 20x10 wheels and 305/55r20 tires. Actual diameter is 33.5" I'm wondering if 4.10 gears would be beneficial for performance or if it would just be too much quick shifting? I used a ratio calculator and with the 33s and 4.10 gears the trucks would be spinning 300rpm more at 60mph than when the truck was 100% stock.

IMO that's too much gear for just 33" tires

 

Is there an official list of what gears are available for the the rear end that comes with the 6.2? They had 3.23, 3.42, and 3.73 available in 2014 from the OEM. There's at least one guy out there with 4.10's isn't there? What aftermarket support is out there?

I'm thinking we might wait unless I get some more input here. Truck has intake and cat back exhaust at the moment.. But kooks long tube headers/catted y-pipe and black bear tune are next.

Truck currently has 3.23 gears

I found a better gear ratio calculator. Yes 4.10 would be way too much gear. 3.42 with 33s would put it back to stock 3.23 ratio and oem gears are made up to 3.73 so that would the way to go but probably not worth the $$

4.10s and gm's 8 speed with stock tire diameter basically gives you what Ram offers with their deeper geared zf 8 speed and 3.92's... it would be awesome actually... well but the lack of traction won't be lol.

 

Good luck with finding 4.10's though.... 6.2 trucks and max tow 5.3 trucks have the 9.76" ring gear and not the 9.5"... so 3.73 is as deep as these go using 6 speed max tow parts.

I'm not sure that you need to change out the gears with 33s. I'm running 35" BFGs with a 6.2L and 3.23 gears and my truck hasn't lost a bit of performance. It does have a tune on it but it does not lack anything. I pull a 7500 lb boat and its almost as if its not even there.

 

I would say let your buddy drive the truck and see if there are any issues. I doubt he will notice anything.

I went with 3.73 on mine, had 4.10 on my '12 silverado with 6 spd and yes it made it quite fast but the MPG's dropped a lot, 3.73's with the 8spd is still averaging 16-17 mpg on my daily driving and on a 300+ mile trip I averaged 21.7 mpg and that was loaded down with camping gear (fire wood) and 3 people in truck doing 70 to 80+ mph

      Holy smokes. Clearly not a deal on that truck. I just mean in general, matte or painted trim is becoming more normative than chrome, but I know the Black Optics packages on various vehicles are being sold as uplevel trims. They look really good, but sheesh. It's just paint and plastic.

      I Wouldn't Know Where to Begin    Oh I know where I would begin but I'm just one of over eight billion people on this rock. Eight billion versions of where the goal post is. How large it should be. How far to kick from. What ball is the right ball. Elevation. Age.....are you getting the point? It isn't about disagreeing with one individual. It's about agreeing only with one individual. One's self.   Agreement comes when multiple people hold the same point already. THAT is the goal of an education. Building the Social Contract. That thing that allows us to all read this sentence. We've agreed on the alphabet and how to arrange those letters into words we agree upon whose meanings hold true for everyone entering into that contract. Those words arranged into a sentence form an idea and several sentences strung together in a paragraph convey an argument for or against or inform the reader of a state, condition or perhaps reveal a things nature. Paint a word picture. Make oneself known.    This contract is not limited to words although they are often explained by words. Things like numbers and their usefulness. Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Music, Art and so on.    The frequency of middle C (C4) is 261.63 Hz is a first principle. We build on that to make music we all can enjoy even if we all can not compose or play. You don't have to master it to make it enjoyable and useful.    So why is the Beginning so difficult? Why is agreement so elusive?   Everyone "Signs" the contract (when receiving that education in obtaining it)  but fewer and fewer in this world have any intention of living by that contract. They find exploiting that contract more advantageous. Disruption. With intent. Without intent. In Ignorance. In your face. With a double dog dare you. With a hold my beer. In resistance to that contract and in spite how it looks on us. It permeates the very air we breath.    In this way the contract is subject to advantage. Abide by it when it serves you, disregard it when it doesn't. Unpredictable and self-serving. Corrosive.....Toxic........   It says a lot about a persons character to disregard the contract, the truth, first principles. None of it good.        ********************************************************   https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/character-vs-personality-who-we-are-and-who-we-aspire-to-be/   Just an interesting article.

      It costs $5,250 for the Yukon Nightfall option (black wheels, emblems and illuminated black GMC grill badge). What a "deal".

      I keep getting the above error message on my 25 Sierra.  If I reset the infotainment unit (via the phone hang up button) it will work again for a day or 2.   But I dont want to do have to reset  all the time. Works fine in my 2023 Corvette. On both vehicles I connect wirelessly.   I have a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, phone is up to date.  Any Ideas.  See attached

      LOL, its thrown a few people because this item is being talked about in the gas part of the HD forum. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to put a very brief wording in your profile with the year/GM or Chev/2500 or 3500/ and yes the 6.6 Duramax. When I joined this forum I could see the confusion ensuing for my own truck unless I had it listed with my chosen name handle unless one has a few vehicles that apply to a GM forum as that becomes confusing as well. Anyway its all good, makes for a little forum excitement 😉
