Hey guys I’ve got a 2014 GMC Sierra 2wd 4.3 v6 on a 7inch lift 22x12s and 35s the trucks got 3.23 gears in it and when I bumped up to 35s from 33s it seems like it is always constantly searching for gears on the Highway or above 50mph I get around 13 mpg and I would like to retain that or get better if possible and I’m trying to decide wether regearing the truck would be worth the money and also what gears to go to If I get it done if 3.73 or 4.10s would be better I would like to retain as much gas mileage as possible but not have the truck struggling 24/7 when it hits a hill it just sucks the life out of it or on the highway trying to maintain a decent speed I have a cold air Intake exhaust and Diablo tuner please lmk what y’all think438e023f7bec8ca1d68c355f4fe6fe65.jpg

I think the consensus on these trucks is 4.56 when running 35s.  I have the 6.2/3.23/ 8spd and haven't regeared yet and I'm not really sure I need to.  The truck hauls ass still.

Truck looks good Dave.
If you can afford it do it.
The v6 has to be struggling with those tires.
Does the tuner help any?

My problem is that motor I’m just trying to find ways to get it back to how it was so you would go with 4.56 gears?

I wouldn't put any more money into that truck I would buy something more appropriate. You'll be lucky if you can break even on a sale.

I know I’m not going to break even with this but this is the truck I could afford at the time and now I’ve got it so close to being payed off it it would be stupid to get rid of it I’m gonna run it till it blows

Try this. Get out on the open Interstate/Highway and run in M5. Put her in cruise control and observe. This little exercise will let you know what it would be like to run with a 4.10:1 diff in high gear. See how much help that step is. A test that cost you nothing but time.

Thanks man I will do that and my biggest issue is the truck is always and I means always Reving up in the rpms to move like jumping the Rpms it will never just cruise and I can give it a little without it jumping in rpms to try to move

Needs 4.10's at a minimum for 35's.

 

2WD makes it's easy and costs way less than if you had a 4X4. You need to tune for that as well. It will adjust the shift points for the transmission.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
