4.30 gears for SuperDuty

[PhatFireMan]

Anybody got an "in" on some 4.30 gears for an '04 SuperDuty 4x4 that they'd be willing to share...?

Phatty:

WE've got some 4.30's "in" our F350, but don't see how we can share them.

excuse me for not consulting my Guide-of-Ford-Trucks (GIFT) before asking this, ...
but i have the 3.73, ...i really want the 4.10 on my next, ... and I know the big bad burly guys always get the 4.88 gears.

Where and when did the 4.30 become good??

Hey Mikey!!

I'm not up on my gearing history, but I think the 4.30's came about with the 6.0 because of the higher RPMs they run and it was a good substitute for the 4.10's- the main sets I always seemed to hear about were 4.56's and then the 4.88's, but man- you better not want to go very fast with some 4.88's.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it (for now!).

that makes more sense
I know the 6.0's like the RPM's, so it makes sense they tossed in a 4.3 option in the rear instead of the 4.10's

and yea, a 4.88 would probably NOT be a highway fast cruiser
you just gotta love those guys who get those super heavy trailers and a set of 4.88's though ehhhh??? truckers at heart

what i would like to know though, is who has researched overdrives or underdrives ??

Gear Vendors is just a mile or two down the road from me, but I don't hear the most complimentory things about them.
Any ideas ???
I could really see getting a 4.88 with OVER or a 4.1 with Under.

maybe a U.S. Gears ??
