i never said that it was unaffected spin it any way you want tom but thats exactly what you said helium does not have enough density or atomic weight for the force of gravity on this planet to hold it down so it has no weight here. funny i dont see where i said no effect. i said that gravity does not have enough force to hold it down against ut upward force of our atmosphere not exactly the same thing but feel free it spin it as you see fit. and you should be the last one to talk with your theory that an object in freefall has no weight. first its not my theory. secondly it appears that the physics professors over at mit agree with this theory http//ocw.mit.edu/ocwweb/physics/8-01physics-ifall1999/videolectures/detail/video-segment-index-for-l-7.htm and other professors say other things that is why it is called a theory. if it had no weight it would not fall no tom.... it falls because gravity acts upon it. gravity acts upon it because it has mass. as i explained once before you can calculate the weight of an object under acceleration as follows and it has weight for the same reason if you define weight purely as the force of gravity acting on a mass w = mg as many do.. weight is the product of mass times gravitational acceleration - the acceleration of the mass. lol really this looks more like the equation for g-force. either way who cares and what does it have to do with the topic at hand. does it really bother you this much when i am right about something that you have to jump in with this old crap how sad. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

mike good question. the answer is i think so. lets assume i keep the truck for 200k miles i will save 3 sets of tires for $1000 plus say a 10% fuel savings which is 11560 gallons at 17.3 mpg verses 10526 gallons at 19 mpg with the difference being 1000 gal + at say $2.50 a gallon for about $2500. so without the cool factor the better ride the better gearing the lower stress on the motor and chassis potentially yes. but i think the key to the answer is how long will i keep the truck. steve roy that will change my 4.10s into 3.55s or 3.65s. effectively putting 70mph at 1800 rpm which will save a lot of fuel. it will make the ride smoother quieter and increase tire life to more than 200k miles. additionally it will add significantly more life to the truck. we are fortunate to have both the brakes and the suspension to handle the mod. the gm product cannot without extensive suspension changes. unfortuately it also adds 25lbs in unsprung weight at each wheel so the shock absorbers should also be changed to gas type. this change will set me back about $5000 all in though. steve steve will your payback be equal to your outlay obviously the cool factor has to fit in there somewhere though ^ mike i am going to convert my 17 wheels to 22.5 alcoas. this will increase my tire height 6. is it possible to recalibrate the speedometer 15% any help will be appreciated. steve what will that change do to your gearing roy .
