Regearing Explained | Chasing Dust

[@Mcfly765]

This is exactly what I was looking for to learn about regearing. Very informative with minimal side talk. I learned a lot. Thanks for making this

[@commonintel]

this is the best info on regearing i've found on the YT. I'm regearing my '20 Tacoma from 4.30 (MT) to 4.88 next month. went from 31" tires to 33". Thanks for all the info

[@khanhtrunglam8724]

Have you done regear your Taco yet? How about it? Mine is 2020 too.

[@commonintel]

@@khanhtrunglam8724 I like it but the benefits were lower than expected for me because my truck is a manual and the gear ratio on manual Tacomas are already at 4.30 as opposed to automatic Tacomas which come in 3.73 gear ratio. Everything he said was correct. My MPGs in the city improved by 1mpg and my mpg on the freeway worsened by 1-2mpg depending on how fast I'm going. I like the power it's added to my truck but I don't feel I really needed it since I don't plan on takaing it off-roading much in it's first few years while it's still new and sexy. I have taken it on mild trails and I can definitely feel the power although it's not as big of an improvement from 4.30 to 4.88 as it would be for automatics (3.73 to 4.88 or even 5.29). I think I was good at 4.30. I still have my stock gears so idk, maybe I'll end up going back to 4.30 and sell the 4.88s. Are you planning on getting your Taco regeared? What shop? If you're in SoCal, I recommend Premier West Gears in Riverside. Good Luck.

[@lumumbambekeani9359]

I agree! Best explanation on YT yet.

[@davidsanchez2499]

Thanks for explaining the gear ratio, it makes lots of sense going up a hill and having to down shot a few times

[@Philipmoore10]

This is the most informative explanation regarding this topic, but I'm still unanswered. My OEM LT275/65R20 are now 37x13.50R24. W/ stock 3:42 should I regear to 3:73? (4x4) 10 speed Allison.

[@donutt2383]

Regear to a 4.10

[@success7824]

Matt, thank you for your video. For a 2022 Toyota Tacoma Limited 4x4 and I mostly drive on highway with stock tires, is it beneficial to regear the truck to 4.88 with nitro gear package? I have watched several nitro gear videos and it seems that regearing makes the truck more drivable. I am not towing or hauling or adding more weight to the truck. Just use it for a daily driver and long distance driver. Please advise! Thank you in advance for your help!

[@MoisesHCI]

Well, according to the video, re-gearing only makes sense for city driving and long distance will decrease your mpg. So, sorry buddy sounds like you might as well save the money.

[@justindaoud9913]

What effect does reheating have on engine coolant temp? Will it help keep it a bit lower if the engine isn’t working as hard? Or is it the opposite?

[@White_buffalo_4r]

great job on break down and explanation

[@rogueyota]

I really appreciate the vid. It looks like the rear differential on my 2011 4Runner with 34s may have failed last week. I was planning to live with stock gearing, because I spent too much on suspension. Now, I’m pulling the differential anyway, so I may go for it while I’m making repairs.

[@stephensmith745]

Just had 5.29 Nitro Gears installed on my 2019 Tundra. It has a 2.5” lift and running 35” tires. Was very tired of feeling like I was constantly hauling around a trailer because of the weight & size of the tires. I almost went back to stock size but ended up having the gears installed and so glad I did. Now it feels like it did the day I bought. Holds 6th gear like it never did before. I can tell by the exhaust note that the engine isn’t struggling like it did before and always changing gears. If you plan on keeping your tundra and you’re running larger tires, do yourself a favor and go for it. Almost like getting a new truck all over again, way more fun to drive.

[@HTSS8]

😁 holding 6th with 5.29's and 35's? Or 5.30 rather. What RPM is it holding 6th and what mph? 😆

[@matthew7972]

How much did it run you?

[@eduardosaldana6472]

So you saying I’ll haul more ass with 5.29 gears on S Mode??? I can’t stand stepping on it and still feeling sluggish after bolt ons . I want the tires to hook

[@Dayota___]

🧐

[@j_c137]

Very informative. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@lucasr5675]

Very good video. Great explanations and examples.

[@scottweaver3611]

Love the video!!! Although I learned a lot my basic question is if I don't regear will anything actually break ? I don't do any off road she is basically for the " look" she's a 2017 silverado and I've heard about potential transmission issues and the 4to 8 cylinder switching stupid feature.

[@Gt8er]

Re gearing helps with getting the speedometer and mpg calculators on vehicles back close, it just depends on how close your gear ratio and tire size ends up being to sock. I have. 2005 chevy that had 3.73 and I put 4.10 in it because I found a junk yard front end that had 4.10 in it so I re geared the back. Running a 35 it brought everything back where it needed to be the speedo can’t get any closer at 65 mph. Still wish I would have went with 4.56s tho.

[@geostorm9351]

Great info. Where are you located at?

[@antfitts5]

Hey Matt do you see any reason to regear your ranger after the 35s and the tune?

[@DrivingLine]

I know it would be beneficial to get some of that power back that you lose with 35's, but the 10-speed trans really makes it easier to deal with until that time comes.

[@antfitts5]

@@DrivingLine thanks for the reply brotha

[@VINNY5674]

I have grand jeep cherokee 1995 limited 4.0 zj i wanted to go from stock size 225/75/15 to some 31's. I've already lifted the jeep 3.5 inch spent over 4,000 in parts and labor now if i want new tires its suggested to get offset rimes and bigger tires. New tires and rims are gonna cost over 3 grand and regearing 2 grand also shop suggested a slip yolk eliminator another 1,500. That's over 10 grand making my head spin 🤕

[@MoisesHCI]

Great explanation brother, keep making videos!! 👌👌👊🏼

[@selineramos4857]

Awesome info on rearing . I have a 2016 Tacoma TRD. I would like to regear, but I'm limitit in the area I live, to get this job done professionally. I was told by a friend that I could order online complete front and rear diffs, and I could save money and do the removal and installation myself, then send them my diffs for core credit? Any if on this would help Thanks and and love your channel.

[@Frygonz]

So are are the ring and pinion the only gears you actually have to change?

[@surfhwm31]

Will tuning your truck after new gears with with the higher RPM problem or will that still happen???

[@TrashPandaGarage]

Good demo and explanation.

[@Godsservant11]

2019 ram 1500 classic got new 35” tires and 4” lift which gear ratio should I go for? Any other tips appreciated

[@RyanMr6.7]

GREAT VIDEO AND VERY INFORMATIVE!

[@dugefresh7063]

Any chance you could do a computation for a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel going from factory to 37's?

[@Jay-rg5mt]

Can you regear on stock size tires/no lift just to get extra torque?

[@exotic2raw]

Yup

[@seselapaz]

I have a 1999 2WD 4Runner with new 265/75/R16 All Tennain tires from BFGoodreach the rest is all stock so my question is, should I re-gear my 4Runner and if so what would it be the best? I don’t do any soeacial off road or any crazy just my daily driving to work or long drives in highway. Thanks in advance.

[@James-xf5ip]

Great video. Super informative!

[@sefisredtv8991]

Thanks for the clear discussion. I wish you were my physics teacher back in hs.

[@sefisredtv8991]

Btw. What gear are you using on your 10 speed ranger. Tire size? How is it compared to stock?

[@TheCowby]

Thank you for making this video.

[@HealthSupercharger]

Does anyone know if it is possible to re gear my 2011 Nissan frontier 4 cylinder because i already have 410 gears and i can not town a trailer 3000lb heavy because if i stop on a moderate hill i literally have to rev my engine to 3500RPM and burn my clutch 2 times because it will stall my engine if i don't press the clutch 2nd time to boost the engine speed. The 1st gear in these has not enough deep gears and i wish i had a granny gear. 410s are already high, is it possible to fit higher ratio gears in the Nissan frontier differentials ? Or should i get a tune for my engine?

[@MXWJ01]

So I went from 275/55/20 to 35s, with original gears being 3.42. What gears should I re-gear too?

[@joe7528]

I'm considering lifting my 2014 Ram 1500 rwd and either 35's or 37" tires I'm currently at stock 275/60/20 and i have the AlphaOBD MX to change tire size , tire pressure, tranny shift points my question is will i still need to do a regear as well

[@exotic2raw]

Yes, take it all into account. As soon as I lifted my truck 6” and putting 35’s on (wish I went 37’s) my transmission just took a shit had to get it rebuilt then I actually regeared the truck

[@BuenasVibras909]

Will this apply to a lowered truck as well? Just lowered my truck and threw on some 24s now.it feels sluggish.

[@MoisesHCI]

Yes, wether is lifted or lowered, ratio is affected by the size of tire.

[@jeffreygarrett5542]

So I have a 2021 ford ranger with 35s should I regear

[@tsharpton1]

Is re-gearing even worth it if you just went from a 30-in to a 31-in tire?

[@victorvillegas2682]

This is just Amazing!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤙🏼🤝🏼

[@erikcoll8563]

Well done. Thank you.

[@badillaboy]

am hella confused so on my 2019 f150 3.5 10 speed my current ratio is 3.31 if i go 3.73 it will be close to even number but if i go 3.55 my speed say will be 75 mph at 1650 rpm on 10th gear vs 70 at 1650rpm on 3.31 so it will more efficient then meaning it will have more power at lower rpm? since i am looking at gear ratio upgrades

[@brycepenrod]

Great information! Thank you!

[@artym3659]

Before re calibrating with bigger tire: - Speedometer will actually show SLOWER* speed with bigger tire* - Fuel economy computer will show WORSE* mpg

[@xxhardxx165]

How much would you charge me to regear my truck?

[@yessahblesssah5516]

I have a 2015 Toyota Tacoma with bigger tires did not do a re gear on them. Felt my truck feeling slow while accelerating into highway speed & going up hills. I’m putting back stock tires to gain my original ratio gearing. Do I still have to re gear on my stock tires?

[@jayr.1523]

It may be expensive but you're gonna pay one way or another if you've added big wheels cuz you're gonna wear out your transmission and if u dont get a thermal bypass you're gonna be overheating it

[@Rob81818]

everything sounds great but the hwy mpg :(

[@texasgrillchef8581]

Bronco with Sasquatch come with 4.77

[@HTSS8]

With all this talking, didn't differentiate specifically why the "low gear" mechanically works, like the demonstration was intended to breakdown diameter of tire travel distance. This is another, as are seemingly 90% of video producers, example of why you shouldn't just wing it when discussing things. Be methodical and make sure you say what you need to to properly inform while not chattering and spazng on unimportant points or talking in circles and end up leaving out elementary points and being inconsistent with the whole production of content.

[@Jay-rg5mt]

Bruh if you’re considering regearing and don’t understand the basic principal of why a low gear gives power back then you shouldn’t even be modding your truck

[@HTSS8]

@Jay-rg5mt clearly you're not reading the context of what I said. It's not that I don't understand, it's that the supposed intent to inform on the subject was incompletely informative. But it's clear you're trying to grandstand that You know about "modifying" trucks, huh?
