    3.08 gears with 35" tires?

    But they're way better then 3.08s I have now :signs8: I just want a nice daily driver.. And considering my overdrive doesn't work, I figure the 4.10s would be good with 35s. All I would like now is a fuel injected motor. I have the cash to help with the swap, just don't think I have the...

    3.08 gears with 35" tires?

    I can't do that, me and my Dad already invested too much time in the '85 K10. My Dad talked with some guys that he works with and one of them happens to have a junked 1980 Chevy K10 which has 4.10 gears front and rear. It has no motor or transmission and is pretty much a parts truck but he wants...

    3.08 gears with 35" tires?

    Right now I have a carburated 305, so a 350 tbi would be nice. A spare 700R4 would come in handy. I could always use the front leather seats out of the suburban. I will alao be using both the front and rear axles, and I could do the front grill swap even though I just bought a billet grill...

    3.08 gears with 35" tires?

    It clicks 6 times. The '90 suburban that I found is bone stock with 3.73 gears, 350ci tbi and a 700R4 transmission. It's in really nice condition. I might even put the '90 grill on it. I can get the suburban for about $1,200. has anyone ever done a tbi swap?

    3.08 gears with 35" tires?

    Well, that's another thing. I can't get my transmission to shift into overdrive, even if I manually shift it. Therefore it's like I already have a 3 speed transmission. What gear ratio would a 1990 1/2 Suburban have? I found a nice 4x4 that I could buy as a donor truck and use the axles off of it.

    3.08 gears with 35" tires?

    I already found an '86 K5 blazer with a 350 tbi, 700R4 and half ton axles with 3.73 gears in it for $600 or best offer. I guess I'm going to stick with half ton axles, that way I can still use my 15s.

    3.08 gears with 35" tires?

    Yes, I have a picture. I even drew a red circle around the broken bolt to help identify the location. Half of it came out, the other half stayed inside. I'm not sure how I can remove it without doing alot of work, as there isn't much room to work in. I know where I can get another set of half...

    3.08 gears with 35" tires?

    Like the title says, I have a 1985 Chevy K10 with 35" tires and 3.08 gears. The truck is powered by a 305 V8 with a 4 speed automatic transmission. I was curious if the 3.08 gears would be a good set up for the 35s. I want to use it as a daily driver, to get back and forth to work. I DO NOT plan...

    Lets see your lifted trucks

    Thanks. It's actually a color that me and my dad somewhat made on our own mixing up two different colors of blue that we had in the garage. It's like a purple/bluish color. I really like it. Anyways, these are the only two pictures I have at the moment. The last picture if more recent, with the...

    Transmission not shifting into overdrive!

    What does the switch look like? I'm going to try and look for it today whenever I get out of work. I'm also going to test the light green wire that chengny described. Hopefully it's nothing serious and I can get it figured out. I doubt it's something major.

    Lets see your lifted trucks

    Here's my 1985 K10 that I'm trying to restore. Just needs some brake work in the rear, little bit of interior work and also for the a/c to be worked on. It has a 6" Rough Country suspension lift kit, 15x10 Mickey Thompson wheels and 35x15.50x15 Swamper TSL SX tires.

    Transmission not shifting into overdrive!

    I didn't know there was a forum for '73-'87 Chevy fullsize trucks but I'm very glad to see there is! Hopefully I can get an answer to all my questions here. One question I have is about the transmission on my '85 Chevy 1/2 ton. It came factory with a 305 V8 and a 4 speed automatic transmission...
