Re: Trying to do the logical thing.

So is the object here to keep spending money? With the 3.08s you were right where you should be. Swapping to 3.73 created the need for an overdrive. Trans + the rebuild + a shortened driveshaft could be upwards of close to 2k. Then you've got to get the geometry 'just right' to avoid burning up the new trans and hopefully it will last long enough to justify the difference in mileage. Sorry to be so blunt but I have a lot of disdain for the 700. Even the 'built to last' 700s really do not have a lot of longevity
