Hey Voodoo, how many headgaskets have you had done in all those miles? My 92 has 185,000 on it and the HGs were done at about 30,000 by previous owner.[/hijack off]
Thanks,

2nd gen manual 4.56 to 4.88 or 5.29
I am running 32x11.5 tires on my v6 and have a lot of tread left on them.
I am putting truetracs in and would like to regear at the same time.
I understand that for a 5speed (which this is) that 4.88 seems to be considered optimal. Some have advised me that the 4.56-4.88 swap is rather underwhelming and that I should go for the 5.29 instead.
While this may bring me a great low end I am apprehensive for highway driving and wonder if I may come to regret this decision.
Any assistance is welcome!
