    diff re gearing

    Hi Together,

    running 35" now with maxi drive in front and rear but standard gearing. What crown wheel and opinions and gearing are you running on 35" are there any HDR alternatives to Ashcroft ?


    Drivability is actually good with standard gearing and variable vein turbo but fuel consumption seems to be around 2l/100 above what it should be.

    cheers

    Steve

    Depending on diffs GBR in Utah, as well as ashcroft, or hunt for some secondhand maxi 4.11 diff centres.

    i second to speak (email) with Bill from GBR Utah. He was very generous with his time and explanation when i was researching diff ratios. mine are 4.11 from GBR

    you can mix 4.12 (F) and 4.11 (R) without adverse affect. Looks like Ashcroft have a 4.10 for the P38. Same for GBR.

    The choice might be a 4.12 ashcroft front or a 4.11 GBR front with a 4.10 rear from either supplier. Ask Bill if you can slot the 4.14 in the front with the 4.10 rear. That said I'd be very surprised if you broke a 4.11 or 4.12 front.

    Have you corrected the distance you travel on the odometer for the larger circumference of the 35" tyres?

    This will also change your calculated fuel economy. Your odometer will also be reading lower than the actual km travelled therefore reducing calculated fuel economy unless you make a correction for it.
