No AX content, but related to a car hauling vehicle:
Can anyone help me with some questions I have regarding rear end gearing
on a heavy truck chassis? Truck facts:
1980 International School Bus
DT466 Turbo Diesel
5 speed trans
Current gearing is somewhere around 5.7:1. (Close anyway) 2,700 RPM's
has it maxing out at around 58 MPH. Gotta have more speed!!!
Does anyone know about this area? Are ring/pinion sets available for
this unit in more like 4.11:1? I think they are available, but run from
$500 to $900 for new parts. Ouch! Kindly reply in private if you know
anything about this stuff or if you know of a cheap or helpful parts
source. Scotty, your a truck guy right? Thanks!!
