transfer case ratio

Post by Justin »

Hey guys, whats 4High, 4Low, and 2 High?

I'm trying to figure out what kind of gearing I would need for 37's and i want to be able to do 65 and have power (around 2500rpm). I'm thinking 4.88

ya 4.88 is right. but 37's!!!! thats pushin it for saftey reasons IMHO. and to still have power for 37's, you better supercharge that 4.3...alot of people run 4.88's with 35's..you could run in the 5's with 37's if you wanted to.

4.56's is plenty - just buy the programmer to change setting on computer and you will be fine - plenty of power with proper shift points and still able to cruise highway speeds - I get about 250 miles per tank on highway - well I drove from tampa to daytona beach for spring break and only used 1/2 tank of gas
