Vit 3spd auto to Sierra gearing

Post by zookster666 »

Firstly I have no idea how to use a gear calculator so any help will be appreciated.
I want to pit a vitara 3spd auto in my Sierra, but if I remember correctly with my current gearing the engine rpm at 100 klmh would be around 4100 which I felt was a bit high

I run g16a (carby motor)
3.9 diff gears
31" tyres
and 4.16 transfer gears

My question is if I run 3.7 diffs what will my rpm at 100klmh be and how will it affect my crawl ratio?

Cheers

I get 4072rpm @ 100 for your setup (if your tyres are exactly 31" - unlikely) so your calculations are correct.

With 3.7 diff gears you'll run 3863rpm @ 100.

Crawl ratio will be 39:1 with 3.7's in the diffs, 41.2:1 with 3.9's.

We have a car in the club with exactly that setup (3.7 diffs, 4:1 case, G16A) and the owner runs 7.50 16's on road and 35" Krawlers off road. It's a little tall geared on the Krawlers off road but the gearing is perfect on road with them.

I don't do alot of highway driving but when I do I'd like it to be somewhat sustainable as I sometimes travel for up to 2 hours
