Remember this thread? This is not to start another discussion necessarily, but I had a revelation the other day. The difference lies at about 30 mph, cruising in town. With the OD you would be turning more rpm on the engine at 30 than you would be with a C6 assuming that the final drive ratios were equal. At 30, both would be in 1:1, but at 70 the C6 would still be in 1:1 but the OD would be in 1:1.x. Does this make sense to anyone but me? If it doesn't, that's OK. The list has been dead this afternoon or else my connection is down. Almost time to go home in the Central Time zone anyway. Later, -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com <]:-) <]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)

Subject: Re: C6 versus OverDrive Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 14:27:14 -0700 Here is where the confusion comes in, I think. Gear ratios are expressed in x:1 ratio. The first number is the drive gear and the second number is the driven gear. So the OD gear would be expressed as 0.72:1 (the drive gear in this case is the input shaft and the driven gear is the output shaft), so for every .72 turns of the input shaft, the output shaft turns 1 time. Unless you do a lot of freeway driving, the expense of upgrading to OD isn't probably worth it (but if your stock tranny is bad, then maybe...) >while the OD tranny would be at 1:.72 or what >ever the OD ratio happends to be on that particular tranny.

Subject: ADMIN: Political Content A few of the lists have had political content posted lately. Do not use the lists for posting political content unless it directly affects our Ford truck hobbies, and then only after forwarding it to me for review first. Discussing on-topic political content, such as crusher laws, emission laws, highway safety, regulations, off-road laws, etc. are acceptable. Discussion of these topics requesting members review pending bills and lobbying efforts should be forwarded to me first. Discussion of political candidates is off limits. Sorry to take this stand, but its been abused lately, especially with the pending election around the corner. I don't care if its conservative or liberal, it doesn't really belong here. If you feel you must talk about it, use the General Conversation forum on our web site where very little is considered off topic.

I'm not normally a big video game fan, but a friend of mine turned me on to a beta (beta = still being tested for bugs) version of a game called 4x4 Evolution that should be out some time this month or next. It's got a ton (they say over 70 in the final version) of 4 wheel-drive trucks from all different kinds of manufacturers that you can race around something like 16 different tracks. What's nice, is that the trucks have officially been licensed from the manufacturers, so they are VERY realistic. The game, overall, is pretty realistic, and lets you do pretty much anything you want (they even let you switch 4wd modes in the truck (i.e. 2wd 4hi and 4lo.) They've got a good website at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://4x4evo.godgames.com Or, you can just check out the trucks at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://4x4evo.godgames.com/trucks.php Takes a while for it to load, but there are some beautiful machines (6 Fords right now.)

Subject: Re: grinding in the transfer case? I have a 1974 4x4 with a separated NP 205 transfer case. On pavement or not it grinds / growls and clunks under load in 4 hi or 4 low. I inspected it to find that i had excessive movement of both the output shafts (side to side and in / out) leading me to believe that after its long hard life the bearings are shot. Thinking it is time to rebuild it i asked a few questions at a trans shop and with a 4x4 shop only to be told that bearings are the most likely problem but..... they also told me that there are alot of roller bearings that run right on the shafts and the shafts wear (even get lumpy if overloaded to much) and that could be causing alot of my noise. This makes the problem expensive for most people hearing that replacement shafts can cost hundreds of dollars. Anyhow..... I just lucked out and purchased a rebuild kit (i have the federal mogul part # somewhere) from ebay and thought i would tackle the problem in the next few weeks. I have a machine shop at my disposal and they seem to think that they can remedy any shaft problems i might have. once i have the poor old thing apart i will tell what i have found.
