Ok got my heavy duty transfer case cradle/mount yesterday. So i painted it, of course.....blue. So today I tore my transfer case apart and put in the 6.5:1 crawler gears and all new bearings in it. tomorrow I will be putting it all in. Then test run Saturday 4/6/13
If I can't build it, then it's something that should be bought.

Offline Dave, that is so cool! What was the crawl ratio before re-gearing?

Offline I had to go look it up, I think it was 2.3:1. All the spec sheets I can find (internet & my service manual) say gear ratio in low range is 2.268. So i guess that means (rounding up) 2.3:1

Lookin good! I like the blue. The gears will make a huge difference. To calculate th e crawl ratio you multiply your first gear ratio, your low range and your diff ratio togeather. Mine is 4.43*4.3*4.88= 92.96:1. The number you came up with sounds too small. Good job on your t case

He only gave the case ratio.
Looks great David. What will your overall crawl ratio be?

What size are your bushings? Length ID and bolt. Where did you get them?
