Re: Rear end ratio for 700R4?

Why spend more to achieve what is easily done with less?

I suppose I'd be told that I should ditch the rear for a 3.42 then spend money building and upgrading a 2004R if I asked for suggestions on the rebuild.
Oops. I didn't realize that was what I was doing. I thought a member posted a question and I was helping him out -- sharing my experience. I thought that's what we did here, along with trying to find best (not necessarily cheapest) solutions for our trucks. At the end of the day I was actually going to allow the OP to continue to own his truck and make his own decision. Signing off of this thread...
