Hey guys I am looking into lifting my 2016 Sierra 6.2 8 speed and throwing on 35’s. Before doing so I know it’s highly suggested to do a gear swap especially on 3.23’s. Below is what I was quoted for a gear swap to 4.10’s. I am by no means a gear expect so do you guys think this seems like this is a good price and parts list?

Price seems about right compared to my research for a 9.5 3.08 to 4.10 with true trac swap. 

 

I never looked into the 9.75 rear end (yours), but I would recommend you look into a Truetrac carrier in the rear instead of the Yukon Duragrip (strictly my personal preference based upon reviews, not ownership). 

 

Dont forget a tuner to adjust the computer for the change in gears and tires.

It’s less relevant the more gears you have.

 

If I was spending $2800 to compensate for bigger tires, I’d much rather spend it on more power.

What exactly is $2800 gonna get you more power wise?  You’re $4k short of a blower and tune. You could Frankenstein some cheap throw together turbo setup but you’d do more harm to the truck then good.  Nitrous??? Lol!!!

 

i agree with the 8 speed gearing is a little less relevant but I still see the op getting a huge benefit from a gear swap

 

OP the price seems ok but kinda high. I had the gears swapped in my 17 a couple weeks back for $2250 and found a place as low as $1850. If you haven’t shopped around it might be worth calling a couple other places

Um FBO?

 

they make like 100hp

 

$2800 on gears is just the last mod I’d do.

 

These aren’t rwd muscle cars with 4l80’s, in which you can throw in one set of gears in the back for a couple hundred bucks and see huge gains. Which is exactly what made them the go-to mod for the guy that knows his shit for the last 60 years. 

 

I can gaurantee doing gears would be one of the last things in the “typical mod list” if in the last 60 years they costed $2800 bucks and had 8 trans ratios at their disposal. 

 

Maybe if the guy is building a seriously hi powered truck, or a serious off-roader, but it doesn’t sound like it.

The guy asked a simple question. Does the parts list and price look alright. Where at in his post did he ask for anyone’s advice on whether or not he should do a gear swap or what would you buy if you had $2800?  Maybe I missed it I don’t know.

Read it again, he says “it’s been suggested to him that he rear gears when he lifts” I’ve got the same setup and suggested that it’s not required. If you’d like I can talk about my badass truck but rather help OP save money.

Do the lift first then go from there. There will be far more options available but then will fall on whether or not you’ll be keeping it for extra years then it’s worth it to spend more on it but not if you’ll be getting into a new one. Ive got over $11k on mine so far and should’ve just gone out and bought a Raptor for the amount I’ll end up spending cause believe me, it never ends lol

Funny because I don’t see a suggestion anywhere in your post. All I see is you telling the OP your mods and how fast it is

 

Let me ask it again. Where did the op ask anybody for financial advice?  Funny you wanna save the op money because when anybody wants anything less than a CST lift you’re the first to jump their shit and tell them they need to spend more money.  You can’t have it both ways TX

 

these threads wouldn’t keep going south if people would stay on subject

What, are you his mother? Who gives a crap! If you don’t like it should’ve just left it alone but for some reason you feel it necessary to not only have an input on OP but in everyone’s comments. Geez, I wouldn’t even be typing this if you didn’t find it necessary to judge mine and everyones input. IMHO, you’re sending this south not anyone else, we’re all just giving in innocent and personal experiences. Ok, good night and God Bless

The guy keeping tabs on OPs bank account is asking me if I’m his mother. Lol

 

youre a joke dude.  I get pm’s about you all the time with your CST and Amsoil bullshit.  You just got put in your place and now you’re all butt hurt.  

 

OP I apologize for the forums resident financial advisors sending this off the rails. I’ll refer to my original post. I think gears are a big improvement for you and I think possibly you could do better price wise. All I know is what I paid and what a couple of other shops quoted me. Good luck with whatever you do. Look forward to the results.

OP, highly recommend you hold off on switching your 323’s out till after you do a lift especially because “I’ve actually got a lifted 6.2 with 323’s and can easily be tuned if you notice any slight performance difference which is what I did and LOVE IT! I’m also getting 19-20 mpg with a sport tune at 65mph and 18-19 doing 73-75 mph. I also highly recommend you talk with a gearing expert with lots of experience especially with your 6.2/323’s cause you don’t want to freak out losing mpg’s while not towing.

Speaking of lifts, CST Performance Lifts is something you may want to look at, far superior built lifts with reinforced gussets and full welds as well as excellent powder coating. A CST lift wont widen your track width giving you that wide goofy look requiring you to install controversial rear spacers and doesn’t widen your turning radius either. CST Lift doesn’t take away from your towing capabilities keeping stock towing rating. It’s an option especially if you’re considering keeping your truck cause the suspension is your trucks foundation.

Before this thread turns into another shit-show. I got quoted $2300, out the door for 3.73's from 3.08's by East Coast, in Raleigh. $2800 from a place in Charlotte, NC. Both places told me 4.10's would be close or the same in price. Labor was $100/hr for 9 hrs from East Coast, I don't remember what the labor was for the shop in Charlotte. I think your parts list and prices are comparable, for the different regions. I have the 5.3 with 6 spd and a TVS1900 supercharger. I'll probably get the 3.73's installed this year.

 

Bottom line; it's your money, do what you want. I don't ask opinions from forums, because I don't really care what everybody else thinks. And you have no way of knowing who REALLY knows what they're talking about. Most people are ass-clowns anyway, me included... So, you do you, and F everyone else.

How do you like your tvs1900 on the 5.3L? Did it really wake it up? What other things needed to be changed in order to install it? ie., intake, throttle body, belt tensioner and so on.

      Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Guys that read Dizzy's thread know that eons ago after multiple manifold pulls to clear the CCV orifice I converted it to a PCV system with an orifice below it via the valve cover. The blow-by (sticky rings) was so bad it was impossible to keep clean and accumulated water in the oil in the winter when the moisture would freeze in the fresh air side. The PCV functioning mainly as a check valve. I carefully sized the orifice to reproduce the factory values for crankcase pressure at idle.    Well...took a slug of oil to get my attention but the ring seal improvement meant the system was over drafting sucking oil up and out the breather. (V8 guys with orifice systems are nodding their heads). So today I choked it down...allot....to replicate the "just enough to hold a piece of paper on the fresh air side at idle". May still be to much but I'm working with shims at the moment. When I get it sorted I'll make a proper plate and plug. Perhaps using carburetor jets to tune it.    So I guess this means it isn't my imagination.    Dizzy is a pig guys so don't go expecting huge moves in equipment (your equipment) that is in much better shape. A needle valve....lord that just came to me....

      2027 3.0l - ordered

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      I had a new engine installed with under 5,000 miles. It shut off coming around a residential street corner and wouldn't restart. Dealer indicated it seized. New one has been fine since with 10,000 miles on the replaced engine. Annoying but I was given a loaner for the 5 weeks it was down. I won't go with the 6.2l gasser so it's 3.0l again. I love the economy and it tows my enclosed car trailer just fine.

      Coming back from towing a car to my daughter in Nashville truck started making a screaming noise from underneath.  Pulled over placed in park and sure enough whining noise from underneath.  Dropped at the dealer fearing new tranny or another front pump/cover replacement.  Service writer said it sounded like the tranny too...  Well $300, new idler and a belt all is good.  Pop the hood and give a listen. lol  Now I'm telling dealers I'm no longer interested in a new truck.

      OIL CONSUMPTION

      By newdude · Posted

      HD uses the 6.6 gas.   Oil consumption while heavy working is considered normal.  1 quart per 100 gallons of fuel is the normal rate above 8600lbs GVWR.  If more than that, it is considered excessive.   They will have to perform an oil consumption test using the guidelines in TSB 03-06-01-023J.     Information on Engine Oil Consumption Guidelines All engines require oil to lubricate and protect the load bearing and internal moving parts from wear including cylinder walls, pistons, and piston rings. When a piston moves down its cylinder, a thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall. During the combustion process, part of this oil layer is consumed. As a result, varying rates of oil consumption are accepted as normal in all engines. Oil Consumption Oil usage has a direct relationship with the amount of fuel used. The harder an engine works, the more fuel and oil it will use. Therefore, oil usage as a factor of fuel usage is a more accurate indicator of acceptable oil consumption levels than vehicle mileage for vehicles at or above 8600 GVW. The accepted rate of oil consumption for gasoline engines in vehicles at or above 8600 GVW is 1 liter (1 qt) within 400 liters (100 gallons) of fuel used. This rate only applies to vehicles under warranty, maintained in accordance with the appropriate maintenance schedule, driven at legal speeds and within design intent of the vehicle. Many factors can affect an owner's concern with oil consumption. Driving habits and vehicle maintenance vary from owner to owner. Thoroughly evaluate each case before deciding whether the vehicle in question has abnormal engine oil consumption. Gasket and External Leaks Inspect the oil pans, engine covers, and the engine oil cooler for leakage. Inspect for oil leakage into the engine coolant. Improper Reading of the Oil Level Indicator (Dipstick) The vehicle must be parked on a level surface to obtain accurate oil level readings. Verify that the dipstick tube is fully seated in the block. When checking the oil level, make sure the dipstick is wiped clean before taking an oil level reading and fully depress the dipstick until the shoulder bottoms out on the dipstick tube. The dipstick should be the proper part number for the engine/vehicle that is being checked. Not Waiting Long Enough After Running Engine to Check Oil Level The vehicle should be allowed to sit for at least 15 minutes, after the engine has been shut off, before taking an oil level reading to assure the oil has had enough time to drain back into the crankcase. In order to ensure accurate results, the temperature of the oil should be close to the same temperature as the last time the oil level was checked. Improper Oil Fill After an Oil Change Following an oil change, verify that the proper amount and type of oil was put in the engine and that the oil level on the dipstick is not above the full mark or below the add marks. Refer to the Owner's Manual or Service Manual for information on recommended oil quantity, viscosity, and quality. High Speed or High RPM Driving Continuous driving at high speeds/high RPMs may increase oil consumption. Because this may not always be an everyday occurrence, it is hard to determine exactly how much the oil economy will be affected. Towing or Heavy Usage Towing a trailer or hauling additional weight will increase oil consumption. Large frontal area trailers will further increase the work required from the engine, especially at highway speeds, and thus increases the rate of oil consumption. PTO Operation Operation of a PTO will increase fuel and oil usage, as the PTO driven accessory uses engine power to operate. Crankcase Ventilation System Verify that the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is operating properly. Blockages, restrictions, or damage to the PCV system can result in increased oil use. Oil Dilution from Condensation On vehicles that are usually driven short distances, less than 8 km (5 mi), especially in colder weather, condensation generated from cold engine operation may not get hot enough to evaporate out of the oil. When this occurs, the dipstick may indicate that the oil level is over-full. Subsequent driving on a trip of sufficient length to enable normal engine operating temperature for 30 minutes or more, in order to vaporize excess moisture, may give the customer the impression of excessive oil consumption. Engine Temperature If an engine is run at overheated temperatures (see Owner's Manual or Service Manual) for more than brief periods, oil will oxidize at a faster than normal rate. In addition, gaskets may distort, piston rings may stick, and excessive wear may result. Verify that all cooling system components are in proper working order. Engine Wear Piston scuffing, excessive piston-to-wall clearance, tapered or out of round cylinders, worn, damaged or improperly installed valve guides, seals and piston rings will all cause an increase in oil consumption. Measurement of Oil Consumption Engines require a period of time to BREAK IN so that moving parts are properly seated. Therefore, oil economy should not be tested until the vehicle has accumulated at least 6400 km (4000 mi). An exception would be allowed only if an engine is reported to be using more than 0.946 liter (1 qt) in 1600 km (1000 mi).   Verify that the engine has no external leaks. Repair as necessary. Verify that the engine is at normal operating temperature (see Owner's Manual or Service Manual). Park the vehicle on a level surface. Wait at least 15 minutes, after the engine is shut off, before checking the oil level to make sure that most of the oil has had time to drain back into the crankcase. Check the oil level and record the vehicle mileage, date, and exact oil level on the form included in this bulletin. Next ensure the oil level is at, but not above, the full mark on the dipstick. add oil if necessary. Also ensure the proper viscosity and quality oil are being used as recommended in the Owner Manual Ask the customer once they have consumed 100 gallons of fuel schedule an appointment and return to the dealer for inspection. If the final evaluation shows that the engine uses more than 0.946 liter (1 qt) in 379 liters (100 gallons) of fuel used, follow the published symptom diagnostics as described in the appropriate Service Manual. If the oil consumption test shows that the engine uses less than 0.946 liter (1 qt) in 379 liters (100 gallons) of fuel used, explain to the customer that their engine meets the guidelines for oil consumption.
