High Traction
What’s the difference between using 3.42 and 3.73 rear end gear ratios?
I’m building up my 2003 S-10. it has the VORTEC V-6 with the 4 speed automatic transmission. I’m looking into both TransGO and B&M shift kits and a Wynjammer supercharger. I’ve already begun upgrading my exhaust to a true duel with high flow cats, 2 1/2″ pipe and Flowtech “REDHOTS” glasspacks. No headers because the increase in HP DOES NOT warrant the cost. I plan on installing a pair of Lakewood traction bars during my next oil change/tire rotation. i REALLY want to make it hook up and would rather do the rear before installing the supercharger. Rear end gear ratios have always been a bit fuzzy to me. I would like to know the benefits of both so that i could make a really informed decision.
Seether, My bone stock 4.3, 262 incher 98 S-10 four wheel drive Chevy came from GM with 3.73 gears. I’ve driven it from NY to NC and back and nailed down 23.8 mpg. In a nut shell the drive shaft turns 3.73 times more rotations than do the rear axles in one revolution. When ever in doubt concerning final drive ring and pinion gears divide the gear teeth of the smaller pinion into the larger ring gear. With 3.73’s your motor with a decent roller camshaft (standard and Chevy has others) the motor will push that truck well over 125 mph easily. If you are serious about the supercharger you’ll be packing more air into the cylinders and a good set of headers is the only way to get the exhaust out efficiently.
Go to a car junk yard and pull off a Front Anti-roll bar from a Chevy Blazer of the same year. Buy new sway bar frame grommets at your Chevy dealer and install the fatter front sway bar. What a difference! Much flatter cornering. You’ll have fun picking out wheels and tires to hook all the power up. Be careful of the wheel off-set as you don’t want to spray rocks and mud all over the side of your truck.
