[QUOTE]Originally posted by WRS92GT: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Notch1320: [qb] WIKD 281 We basically have the same set up, except I have a slightly larger 6.0 intercooler. Would you reccomend the gear swap? I currently have 3.73's with a 35" tire. [/qb][/QUOTE]If you tow anything at all I wouldn't go anything less than a 3:55 with a 35" tire. There are things you can do to compensate for the sluggish low end if you swapped gears such as throwing on a Wicked Wheel, a DP chip and have Jody adjust your shift points for 3:55's on 35"s and finally install a gear vendor (splits your forward gears just like a big rig basically). Ford PCM's on 99 through 03 7.3's sucked in 95% of all trucks shifting wise. Even the best E4OD/4R100 builder in the nation (John Woods) has told me numerous times that you can build a stage III tranny built to handle well over 1,500rwtq and it will still shift like shit because Ford's programing is designed to spare your converter's lifespan when under heavy acceleration by shifting like this.... 1...2...LOCKUP and basically falls on it's own face instead of...... 1.....2.....3......4......Lockup Jody @ DP can adjust for this to an extent but it's still shitty when compared to a Dodge 48RE or a Allison 1000 shift pattern. Also running a Mag-Hytec or PML deep tranny pan honestly doesn't do shit other than allow you to add more ATF. John Woods has stated that he found it no different than a stock pan other than it took about 20 minutes longer to reach operating temp HOWEVER it took an extra hour to cool off due to the additional 8 quarts of ATF.
