Gear ratio help, 1995 chevy Silverado?

I have a 1995 Chevy Silverado. It's lifted with 35" nitto mud grapplers. This is the throttle body injection not electronic fuel. It has 3:73 but I want it to go faster. I wanted to put 4:56 but people say I'll be red lining at 5,000 rpm. What would be the best gear ratio. Thank you

Well if you want to know the wheel speed I'd go to that wheel don't you think. It may be in the bearing or it may be separate, the wires will tell you.

If a wire loop is dipped into the final reaction mixture and placed in a flame, will the color change?

1) Check oil, ideally change it
2) charge or replace battery and clean terminals
3) clean spark plugs with a wire brush
4) put fuel in it
5) take the dusty ragg out the intake
6) check coolant level
7) try starting it

Won't run?

Check fuel is getting to the engine (there could be old stale fuel in the line so blow the lines out by taking the fuel feed off and squirting some fuel through into a bucket
Check for spark

When its running (if it's running ok) you then need to service it

You've changed the oil so do all the filters and other fluids and clean out the carb bowl

I dunno if ied bother, but my friend does. If you want to be safe. Disconect the spark plugs and install an oil pressure gauge and crank it to check for oil pressure first before trying to fire it.

Maybe clear the line of old fuel first really, and a good point made below take some oil (a tiny tiny amount) and put it in the bore via the spark plug hole. Don't over do it though you can't compress a liquid

Then you have a massive list of stuff todo before putting it on the road

The temperature of the system is fixed. 385 J of heat are added to the system. What is the work in J done on the system?
