sick ratio?

[gen1swbute]

with my mods i will have 73.06:1 first in low, low how slow will this be? my first case is 2.074:1 and my second 1 is 1.944:1 and my diff is 4.625:1

[Ian Sharpe]

with my 3.15 gears & auto box, I have about 40:1 low, which is quite slow (compared to standard) so 73:1 is almost double that, that will be very slow ideal for down hill thats about all. You will find yourself revving the guts out of your truck to get anywhere but you can always use 2nd, & 3rd gears.

With my 2.85 t-case and 5.29 diffs, I run close to 60:1 ratio and it's not that bad. Crawling up incredibly steep stuff is a breeze (even though I have a 4-banger) and down-hill slopes aren't that bad. Like mentioned, you can always down-climb in 2nd or 3rd.

Mmmmmm Gears....

I tried to order mine yesterday but mark hardman's email just keeps bouncing back to me....

With the 5 speed and 4.9 diffs I have I think it works out at 61:1....

Ideal for winching.

See if you can get onto Frank (Bitsamissan) he knows Mark, but I havent heard much of him on the forum lately. I could ring Frank for you if you like, I have his number somewhere.

I think you can also get the gears from Marks Adaptors. The 3.15 gears are great, you will luv them!!!

[gen1swbute]

yeah mine work out at 4.018

Cheers Ian, I got marks email as markh@hardmanbros.com.au off Frank and have seen him use that same address telling other peopletoo but it didn't work, address unknown.

Yes marks do them, I see they are on the website - as I'm across the ditch I thought it'd be easier to deal with Mark H.

Cheers - I am looking forward to them but I do need to find a specialist by the sounds of things to get them in the manual box.

Do you find them noisy at all? Is there any difference in Low box?

[Ian Sharpe]

Yes good idea to get them installed by someone who has the gear & knows what they are doing.

I had mine done in Canberra by Nash Offroad, they did a top job. The transfer case is a big motha.

The gears were heaps noisy when I had them put in, but they have quietened down a lot or maybe I have just gotten used to the noise. They also change the way the Paj drives in 4wd low, especially with the auto box, but in time you get used to it.

Let me know if you want me to chase up |Frank

cheers

I last emailed back and forth with Mark in mid-December about some custom PTO gears he made for me. He's there. The address above is incorrect...use mark@hardmanbros.com.au for email (note that it does not read "markh").

[klrevo]

just give them a call,

i had a good chat to Mark for prob half an hour on tuesday. Really nice bloke and was very understanding and knowledgeable.

I heard from mark back in mid december - he mentioned that the 2.85 gears would be ready to ship by end of February 2008

[CapnCrunch]

Yeah, he told me he was making another batch.
