Well, as I said in my post, there was quite a bit of “homework” to figure out. They made a whole bunch of these transmissions, and from the replies I got from my request for information, it was apparent that I got a transmission that would be compatible with my truck. That meant installing one that worked well with the gear ratio I had, which, in my case, was a 3:91. The T5 that was built for me has a final ratio in 5th gear as .086. Now, I have to admit, a lot of this was “Greek” to me, however, the more I got into it, the more I understood.
Believe me, if you are considering this type of installation, and more importantly, if you’re looking for more driveability out of your truck, you cannot go wrong with putting that T5 in. I have a stock looking shifter and shift knob, and people look inside and think it’s got the original 3-speed. I was driving with my wife the other day, and she said “wow, we can ride in this and not have to scream at each other to talk” as was the case with the 3-speed at 50-55 mph!
Good luck with whatever you decide!
