Oh, I'll complicate things a bit too. Crawl ratio makes no reference to tyre diameter. for comparison, I like to divide crawl X tyre diameter in inches to get a figure that can be used to compare actual speed over the ground.

Stock sierra - 33:1/26= 1.269
sierra with 5.12s and 33" tyres - 1.27

sierra with 4:1 transfer gear and 33's - 1.67

sierra with 6.4 transfer and 33's: 2.61.... or better than twice the real gearing of a 5.12 car for the same road gearing.

So even though 5.12's offset 33's on road perfectly, offroad a sierra with this setup would have the same gearing as stock (so it would suck)

Just something I play with to get comparisons.

Sorry if I've confused anyone.

In jsut a side note .. I thought you can drive with a less CR in a diesel engine ( coz have more torque ) than a gasser .. some CR point if you can get your engine rev up at 800 rpm ..

And always depends how much hard core off road you do ..

I forget .. the better way to have better CR, transfer gears ..
