[QUOTE="xackley, post: 422214, member: 17509"] Transmission Gear Ratios 1st.... 4.46 2nd.... 2.61 3rd.... 1.72 4th.... 1.25 5th.... 1.00 6th.... 0.84 The transfer case has a reduction of 2.72 so 2.7x1.72=4.644 so Low range 3rd is about like 1st in high range. 2.7x1.00=2.7 so low range 5th is about like 2nd in high range. So what are the considerations for the drive train. Is there any down side to moping along in 5th gear low range as apposed to using 2nd in High range. Don [/QUOTE]
