I installed a .658 5th gear today and got it out for a test drive. Everything shifted and performed perfectly. I was expecting cruise control to stop working, but even after a 25 minute drive in 5th, it stayed on. I do have a RC1 tune that was installed back in late 2011 and updated about 2 years ago with some fueling tweaks. I'm not sure if Jeff has the code built in to keep it working or if I'm just lucky and don't have the issue on my 04. I thought I read the tune had to be programed for the specific gear ratio, but maybe not?
In any case the job took longer than I expected, but for the most part went very smooth. After 150k highway miles in stock gearing, I'm wishing I did this years ago, the quiet ride is worth it alone.
