4:77's & 35's...some stats...

[Ldub]

To clarify...

Stock 4.30 axle shaft revolutions per 1 wheel revolution

Upgrade 4.56/4.77 axle shaft revolution per 1 wheel revolution

Don't you mean DRIVE shaft revo's per wheel revo...?

Or have I had too much Jack...

I was just testing you... keep drinking, its working for you .

Drive shaft not axle shaft. My mistake.

You have nothing to worry about...

If the gears are already in a third member, you can swap the third in without requiring professional gear set-up. One of the nice things about the third member design.

I would have done this, but I wanted the LSD from the OE 3rd on the rear, so I had the rear 3rd rebuilt with OE LSD for $200. Fronts I just slapped right in there. I still have not done that write up yet, haha, whoops I have all the pics maybe I should do that soon.

Oh, and stock 245/70 = 29.5" diameter, so 33" represents 11.8% difference from stock. Ideally you want a similar change in gearing.
4.30 to 4.56 = 6.0%
4.30 to 4.77 = 10.9%

So 4.77s are pretty ideal for 33s.

So wait, you can move our LSD clutch packs into a rear 4.77 3rd member?

You need to bolt the ring gear to the LSD carrier, (where the clutch packs live)

Then you will have to have the gears set up by a pro.

Hmmmm.

Yes, and not only that but I went on search overload when I found out that a turbo Isuzu Impulse had a 10 bolt LSD in the rear that will fit perfectly into a set of 4.77's on the front of the VX as well ;-)

All the junkyard Impulse Turbo's that I found were missing the diff though :-(

Dude...

Did you do due diligent research? (as in : read the thread)

I'm roll'n 35's & 4:77's...

Also, the fact that you always run your A/C, isn't germane to my statement...

I was trying to explain my perception of the difference in acceleration between stock & 4:77 gearing...

Who's not reading? My question was directed to SilverBullet75. And I got your comparison, but seeing as I run with the A/C on all the time, that would be double s**t for me. Air on and stock R&P with 33" tires........get it? Double s**t, Maddawg driving around with the windows down in 105 deg temp in order to gain acceleration, lol. I do diligent research all right, I just have CRS! But thanks anyway!!

Check the tude at the door please...

I replied in a effort to relate my perceived difference between stock & 4:77's...you know, to help you out.

If you had actual comprehension of what was said, you would be able to figure out that the DIFFERENCE in acceleration, with & without the A/C on, is what I was referring to...you DO know that acceleration is slower with the A/C sapping some of the power...right?

...You quoted me when asking this question...so I thought the query was directed @ me...



If you even had comprehension of the TITLE + author of this thread, you wouldn't have quoted me, OR asked that question.

Can't hardly wait to be of help again...

no P-O establishment intended, was just getting frustrated with your replies...

Here's to your A/C having a long & cool life...
