[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 740654, member: 1780"] Yeah it pisses me off, it's manageable everywhere but the freeway. It has plenty power when it shifts down into 3rd gear, but running 75-80mph in 3rd gear is turning more rpms than I am comfortable with for an hour or so at a time. It just feels like it's geared completely wrong at present for pulling anything between 70-80mph. 4th is too high geared, 3rd is too low geared. Has zero power in 4th in low rpms and has plenty power in 3rd but turns too many rpms. When I first got the truck, it had 285/70/17 Terra Grapplers on it, which run small, and it pulled better then, but still wasn't the best. Once I put the aftermarket wheels and 295's on it, it got noticeably worse. Other than this issue, I don't have any other complaint about the truck, so I hate to get rid of it when I could just regear and fix the problem. Also, been reading a little on the topic. I am seeing where some recommend replacing the carrier, is this needed? Why would you need to do this? Or is this just some of that GM forum gayness from people who don't know wtf they are talking about? [/QUOTE]
