1st thing this morning I took my truck out for a test drive with the new Aussie and the new 4.88's. I live down a muddy semi steep driveway. I normally have a little trouble backing out of the driveway but not now. The truck instantly grabbed and backing out was like never before. I drove the truck up to the market to get the diff oil moving around. It is pouring rain and hail here and the highway is VERY dangerous. I did notice a slight pull to the left when accelerating. I also noticed the truck to grip better. It felt tighter and more stable (not sure why but it did.)
I have yet to take it up the mountain.
One issue I have is with the speedometer. I have 4.88's with the Aussie in the rear and an open diff up front. My tire size is 32 10x 50 Super Swamper TSL's. It seems as if I was going much slower than the speedo indicated. I don't recall reading this in the many write ups I have read on re gearing. I have read many articles on tire size and speedo change. I haven't changed anything with the tires and the speedo reading seems different after the gear install. Any input on this would be nice.
As of this morning I feel very positive about the Aussie. My driveway has always been kinda tricky.
