<< < (2/3) > >>

simon15:

just wish it never drank so much. :(

Range Rover Blues:
<-----------Well this one, runs a LT77 with a Borg-Warner and standard diffs on 235/85 and it won't always stay in top, especially if it's towing.

In fact make that hardly gets into top when towing.

And it's slower than a 300TDi :shock:

ukmudmaster:
What about using Series diffs, that should get your overall gearing back down?

Budgie:
Series diff will be too weak for the rest of the drivetrain + a 4.7:1 is a bit over the top really. Sure you can pull away and go up hills but your top speed will be about 50mph.  :(

Options are, 4.1:1 diffs or a Defender 1.41:1 ratio transfer box.
These will both give you the same final drive ratio and you won't have te problems pulling away or getting up hills.

The gear & transfer box was set up for the power and torque of a V8 or TDi (which ever was in there before) and if the Izuzu doesn't have the low rev torque of the other two then you will get problems.  :wink:

Budgie:
One other thing, I take it you've checked that the brakes and hand brake arn't binding?
