I think flat black is missing the point, one of the big problems is the low top end speed of an A3 (45-50). The result is a truck that is dangerous to drive on the interstate. RIP shooting iron. A top speed of 55-60 would be much safer This thread was started to resolve this issues not make...

Thats a good point, you do put the 3053 back in, how will the engine act at that lower RPM say at 60MPH.

Ok I dont know where I got the 3053 being 1:1. So my final conclusion (that was summed up in about post number 2) is that getting the 3053 back in with the same tires or bigger would give you a better top end without the OD kit, or would you still need toms OD kit?

Ok Ive read this thread over a few times. I'm a simple construction worker, so please keep this in mine. The A2 spicer has a 5th gear ration of 1:1. The A3 4th gear has a ratio of 1:1. The A3 has bigger tires, so why doesn't it go faster? Is it the axles that are geared differently?

yes 55-60 would be great, 45mph is not fun. Ive been kicking around the idea of putting the 3053 back in since I have a spare and all the parts.
