    Ok has anyone here ever swapped in a 700r4 into their rig? I am considering or actually have already decided to do the swap now and would like any tips, info or anything that any of you may have. THere has to be someone out there who has done it. did you have to move the stock fuel tank if you did and what other issues arose?

      If you had 3.73 or 4.09 gearing, the 700R4 would make sense. If you have the 2.73 gearing now, your RPM at 50MPH is around 1,500. The 700R4 would bring it down to idle. Sounds good, but would work terrible. Change the gearing first.
