Isuzu OEM 5.12:1 Ring & Pinioin Gears....

[BigMeatVX]

Thats right 5.12s....

Years ago, I was able to source Isuzu part #s for FRONT and REAR ring and pinion gears in the 5.12:1 ratio... for the isuzu 10 bolt and 12 bolt.

Also I was able to confirm that the ring gear dia. were the same as our VXs.

Unfortunaltly, I cant seem to find the part numers, somehow I misplaced them

Recently, Ive done a bit of searching with no results...

Here is the deal...If I remeber correctly, they were produced on the Phillipean and Thialand models (possibly others)...Availble in a diesel powered pick-up....around the 1997-2001 era...

If anyone here has an outlet in Thailand, or if there is a member on here from the area, please chime in...
there are alot of Isuzu owners that would be interested in these...

BM...might post this over on the "Planet". I know there are a few Philipino members there. Also keep us posted on what you find...espescially the rears.

Yes please keep us posted I like my 4.77's but that sounds even better when I go from 33's to 35's

Playing with my calculator, looks like those 5.12s would be good for very close to stock drive ratio with 35" tires if your stock gears are 4.30.

Correct, however I should feel the change even more, since I also am now running a manual tranny...

could anybody supply with the link on theoretical side of the gears/pinions. those 4.7 and 5.12 numbers dont make a lot of sense to me, but I would like to know more about physics in this issue. thanks in advance

L0L...one of my co-workers nailed me with it...too good to not use...

Sorry Zubraz...consider yourself "the chosen"...

hey, i do know how to use google and search. at certain instances, it seems to be easier to ask the question on forum instead of browsing through the first pages of search results, considering the fact that some of the members keep their "finds" organized (like VX Kat) and can access them fast or can read quicker than I do and find the best description using less time.
