LOL - you can fit bigger, much much bigger! Mine came from Allisport :)

that would give in-accurate results  :wink:
friction between bearings and hub, break pads against disc

everything has to be free so no friction to variate results

friction will not affect the gearing in any way.

Friction has got nowt to do with gear ratios. If there was friction present it would just be harder to turn, gear ratios stay the same.

In the middle of all this, we are assuming the CLUTCH ISNT SLIPPING......

Id guess either a rock crawling nutter was the previous owner and fitted 4.75:1 diffs, and a low ratio transfer gear set, or maybe....just maybe....the clutch is <edit> not very happy </edit> ?

The trucks done just over 15k miles, and was ex-leccy board, probably on the original clutch........and hopefully its not <edit> not very happy </edit> !! It certainly doesn't seem to slip, and infact, drives perfectly up to 60-65mph.

But, being ex-leccy I am wondering if the ratios have been fiddled with, or maybe, just maybe the ECU has been 'got at' to prevent leaden-footed sparkys driving it (and a large trailer) at warp-factor 10  :twisted:

So you are happy with it then Tinks??  :lol:
