HI my truck is 1990 SIDEKICK with a 5 speed. and i just put 31'' tires on it.. I have a part's truck sidekick. it is a auto with a 4.62 diff'S. if i put the 4.62 diff's on my 5 speed will it gear it to low. do you think i can drive on the highway ok. what do you think the RPM'S will be at 70 mph.THANKS LES
-
AM I THINKING WORNG MY 5 SPEED HAS 5.12 ON IT. IF I PUT 4.62. AND LET'S SAY AT 70 MPH THE RPM'S ARE 3000. WILL THE 4.62 MAKE THE RPM MORE OR LESS...THANKS LES
-
Les, you DO NOT want to put those 4.62 gears in your 5spd if you plan on any kind of hwy driving...especially if you have larger than stock tires
-
THANKS FOR THE REPLY. SO WHAT RING AND PINON DO I NEED TO COPENSATE FOR THE BIG TIRE'S IS IT BELOW THE 5.12 LIKE A 4.SOMETHING.. OR DO I NEED TO GO MORE LIKE A 5. SOMETHING... THANKS LES
-
You are thinking the wrong direction. You will need to look for either 5.62's (they are kinda hard to find tho) or buy some 5.83's from Calmini.
;)
-
Hey if you want the 4.63s i'll trade with you, straight up! lol Just kidding. IF you get some 5.83's and wanna get rid of your 5.13's i'll take them off your hands.
-
hes think the same way i did when i started wheeling. i thought lower gears where like sitching from 3:50s to 3:20s.

An easy way to think about it is the diff ratio
at 4.62 = 4.62 turns of the drive shaft to 1 turn
of the tire, the higher the #, the lower the gear
is and the faster the engine turns to get the
same speed.
5.12s in an auto trans is good for 31" tires and
is the same as stock tires with 4.62s
5.83 gives same ratio as stock with 32-33" tires
for more info go to the tire and gear calculator

I have the stock 5:13's in my diffs and my engine revs perfectly fine on the high way. (running 31's)
But If you wana go any higher than 31" tires then I suggest you go for the 5:86 gears.
-
I need some 5.13's damnit!!!!!!!
-
Still !!! I need to get down to the
wreckers and see what's there Sorry
it's taking so long :-[
-
lol
no problem man take your time! Its 2 below here! I wouldn't be putting them in till spring anyway. WHen i take a trip to stu's.
-
I like the 5.12s with my 33s. It would be nice to have 5.83 when the truck is loaded and I have to get going uphill, but other than that, I hardly notice the difference. Plus, It's like having an extra overdrive gear. I still use it off the highway, get some decent mileage cruising at 50 mph.
-
With the auto I think 33's would be a bit much with the 5.12, but I really don't know. Just a thought
-
I'm running 33s with 4.62s !!!
-
My thought is, if you have the three speed auto and 33s, you could use 5.38s and be perfect! What's that? Can't find any? Oh that's ok, I have a set for sale out of a 91 8v 4dr. Pm me if you are interested.
-

YEAH TURBO!!!!!!!!! lol I think that might help you a little bit ::) I don't htink i'd be trying the 33's with my stock gearing!
-
I can out accelerate a stock 16V
5 speed on 215 tires ;D
-
Gee you don't have an advantage at all.....lol PUt some 5.38's in it! WAKE IT UP!!!
-
I'm going to, then the ricers
are going to be scared ;D
-
They should be!!!!!!

I haven't used 5th gear since I fitted the 33s and on a hill I often need to use 3rd to stop the speed dropping below 60mph (which is around 50 on the speedo). It really sucks.
-
