Driving experience with 4.89 vs. 5.83 gears and 11.00 x 16 ?
Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2008 2:09 pm
I am considering swapping in 4.89 gears when I replace my water damaged 5.83 differentials. I run 11.00 x 16 XL tires. The engine is out of a 1951 Coronet and has a little more power than the T245 version of the 230. I am happy with the truck's driving characteristics, but would like to improve the mileage.
The truck is used 95% on the road although I do snow plow and haul landscpaing stone with it.
What is your driving experiance w/ 4.89 and the 11x16 tires? Thanks.
