It's actually very smart because the smaller gear (bigger ratio) is much weeker because of less teeth. So you basical add around .74 or so to the gear ratio in the rear end of your nissan, and thats the way your truck drives compared to a Silverado with the same in it's rear end. I have know idea about the 6 speed tranny, but I looked at a rear end out of one yesterday and it clearly says 3.54. Witch any one with a 2wd auto se of le and put that rear end in your truck would have some where aroung a 4.30 gear ratio and would be lovin it with 33's, or a hell of a hole shot for drag racing and street tires.

ok, but wouldnt that be reflected in the gear ratios listed for the tranny? I mean I've looked at the numbers for auto and manual and they're comparable (manual has a lower 1st gear and a higher o/d but it also has an extra gear). basically, what I'm saying is that the 1:1 ratio in the tranny would still be a 1:1 ratio so in 4th in the auto, it should be the same as 5th in the manual which I would think is the same as the 1:1 in any other vehicle just looking at input speed vs output speed.
I guess I'd need to look at tranny ratios for a gm or ford to see what the difference is.
