Where do I lower the difficulty settings and restart?

Yall need to chill. Like you suit up with OSHA approved work boots and respirators just to tinker in the garage.

Rock on with your house slippers my man.

Exactly. I have worn Florsheim loafers for about ten years in the shop. The foreman jokes about my "Penny Loafers", but the particular ones I buy don't slip on a wet epoxy shop floor. After my last slip and fall, and months long recovery, I decided that not slipping was a high priority.

Patience and take no short cuts.

Top marks to the OP for jumping in feet first.

I highly recommend precrush the sleeves first if you have a press. If not, a 800+ lbs impact would do lol

Looks to a couple hours ago before you started

This might make you feel good now that you are done, I had 4.88s installed last Monday. It was almost $1500 in labor. It's a pretty good savings to just DIY. I had been planning to do gears for a year now, and hadn't planned the time to do it. I knew the only way it would finally happen was if I dropped the truck off at a shop and paid someone to do it.

Ummm ... Stimpack's

Well, are you happy with the 4.88's or do you wish you would have gone with 5.13's? Or less gear?

Start by wearing the appropriate boots instead of open-toed slip-ons?

One of the problems with going that low on the gearing is the small pinion gear not getting enough engagement with the ring gear. That's a lot of force on not a lot of teeth, meaning you can pretty easily break teeth off the ring or pinion gears if you give it too much skinny pedal in a high-traction situation.

 

[Jteakus]

I agree with small pinion gears in a "Dana 44" being a problem. Just curious if OP likes the new setup or would prefer more/less rpm.
I am a fan of gearing the 3.6 deeper because of where it makes power. Fuel economy not considered.

4:88s are perfect. Feels like stock. 5.13 I think is great way to deal with running max payload all the time and not having funds for power adders or engine swaps. I run my truck pretty light so I’m fine and when I tow I swap out to my 35 which make my 4.88s to tall but that’s great for towing.
