My truck currently has the 5.83 chucks. I've been offered
: a set of 4.89 chucks. Is it worth the switch? I know
: the truck will run quieter at higher speeds. Is there
: any disadvantage to the 4.89 gears?
I have a 71 power wagon with 17\40 ground hawgs 3\4 ton with 4.89 gears and my motor is screaming at 60 mph I think it could handle 44\s fine
