new gears?

where can i get new gears for my 95 s10

[Danny_SS]

you can get different gears off another S-10 or camaro
Or you can buy them from summitracing or something.

It will be more realistic (price wise and time wise) to just buy a used rear end with the correct gears you want in it. Just a thought…

whats a good setup for 1/4 times

[steve]

If all you care about is 1/4s then you gear the hell out of your truck. You will go 0-60 fast as hell but your top end will suffer drastically. And this will make your truck not practical for street use, because you will have horrible gas mileage and you will be running at high RPMs when you really are not going that fast. You might want to be careful going for really low gears you might not like the trade offs.

i mean a good 1/4 but also ok for street my gears are really low right now cuz i have a 4x4 but i decided to take out the 4x4 so reall what i need is a good 1/4 but still ok for street

[steve]

If you want to make your truck faster and do not want to really effect your top end and gas mileage too much you should only go up one gear ratio or so.

Example: 3.43s -> 3.73s, 3.73s -> 4.10s etc.

do you know what the stock gears for a 95 chevy tbi 4.3 4x4 is

[steve]

You probably have 3.08s or possibly 3.42s but I am not sure. You should check you glove box codes. It will tell you there what gear ratio you have. I am not sure the exact codes you should be looking for. The old site had a tech. section that told the gear codes, but I am not sure about the new site. I have not been able to find it yet. Some one on this site will know off the top of their head for you. Good luck.

Don't forget to figure your tire height into the final equation when picking a good gear for street/strip use. You would probably want a 4:10 if you were using a 28" slick as an example. Also a little looser torque convertor to get your RPM's up off the line during launch would be helpful. :D
