Diff ratios
Hi guys,
Is there anyone who can give me some info on the standard diff ratios used on the different Patrols? Does anyone know the ratios for the 4500 and 4800 and the GQs especially the 4.2 petrol?
Thanks in advance

Re: Diff ratios
Out of Interest, I purchased a 80-83 MQ Patrol bakkie (Safari) for my SFA conversion. It came with a C200 front and H260 Right drop rear end. They run 4.88 ratio.
I was very surprised, as this is the original Hardbody ratio, and I was worried sick that I would have to do a ratio change, but got lucky to get the same off the Patrol.

Re: Diff ratios
Hi Errol
Gesels met Charles Duckitt in die Kaap (Oh, eight, three, 708, five, double Oh 3).
Hy het al bietjie rondgespeel hiermee.
Hy is van die opinie dat 1:4.375 op sy 4.8 sal hom 37" bande kan laat ry.
Hy reken ook 1:4.1 is stadig genoeg vir 35"

Re: Diff ratios

Ek is besig met idees om my 4.5 bietjie meer omf te kan gee maar moet ook somme maak( moelas)
As ek boot gaan sleep met groot wiele gaan ek jozini in low range moet vat

Ek neem aan as jy ratios verander gaan jy voor ook moet doen?
Kan jy nie bietjie meer krag maak op die engine nie?
