It is. Obviously slightly more wear and tear on the engine but the manufacture testing would encompass much higher and longer rpms to confirm the warranty before mass production. As the engine has been out for years this just reinforces the stoutness of it.
I do the same drive frequently with the same 4k-ish rpm, and no issues.
I agree. Decent torque and horsepower available at 4,000 rpm. The 2nd stage oil pump kicks in at 3,000 rpm taking oil pressure from about 30psi to 75 psi. Nothing scary about this - just the design basis.
Very helpful, thanks everyone.I agree. Decent torque and horsepower available at 4,000 rpm. The 2nd stage oil pump kicks in at 3,000 rpm taking oil pressure from about 30psi to 75 psi. Nothing scary about this - just the design basis.
I think the biggest enemy is heat - if it’s 100 degrees and running 4,000+ for a long time you might need to get into a cool down cycle.
As always YMMV. My $0.02. Keep the change.

Interesting--what RPM recommended for best fuel economy?I agree. Decent torque and horsepower available at 4,000 rpm. The 2nd stage oil pump kicks in at 3,000 rpm taking oil pressure from about 30psi to 75 psi. Nothing scary about this - just the design basis.

Not sure. Driven reasonably, I seem to get reasonable mileage. Seems like short shifting/lugging kills mpgs just as much as revving. Really depends on terrain, gearing, tires, aerodynamics, etc. I’m probably not the one to ask this I’ve done just about everything I can to kill mileage - 37” tires, 5.13 gears, 550lbs of added weight (winch, steel bumper, rock rails, armor, slide out bed).
You really have no power for anything below 2500rpm. I try to shift around 4000 for every gear until I’m up to speed and then use 5th and there’s no need for 6th unless I’m going 75 on the highway. So far I’m pleased with the 4.10’s.
How do you like it? How did it change the feel? Is it shorter throw? Was the installation difficult?Added the B&M shifter. Was able to get the transfer case nob without buying the whole enchilada with the dog leg. A little backyard engineering and she is rock solid. I personally don't like that dog leg, just couldn't do that thing. Truck is dirty but I'm stoked so I'm shooting off these pics.
Lol, I love rowing the gears, too, especially on twisty country roads. But I also have done a good share of crawling. I've seen this many times and thought about it but have always wanted to hear from someone who has it and is living with it.
Looks very nice. BTW, is that a spur I see dangling in the upper right corner of picture #1?Added the B&M shifter.
