I dont really know, thats a good point those as it does sound exactly like straight cut gears at work. I would think from the work done to the car when I bought it that the T/case would have been all stock equipment.Quote:

I've always used high range on Stockton. (I live there)

yes Pedro! I hope so at least !
Exactly the process I am getting into now. I have come from driving this, to driving a much heavy, turbo diesel automatic. Such a different vehicle. But I am loving it.Quote:

I agree, if you need 5th gear in low range you are driving too fast. The strongest gear you have is low 4th so you may as well us it. If LOW 5th seems like to correct speed you will probably find HIGH 3rd will be fine.Quote:

As I mentioned in my post, it was mountain work, up the hills in2nd 3rd low, and occasionally down the other side in 4th /5th, a crappy national hwy in png.
And it was not a Disco, so my post was off topic x2
