You're running a 460 right? What tranny and what size tires and
gearing? Just curious :-)

i am running a c6 with low gear set (11 percent lower first) with 3.50 rear
gears.i use 33" BFG muds for street, off roading, or whatever (don't drive
it much lately) and on the pull track i use either the 33" bfg's, or most
often a set of 27.5" tall retreads. the retreads have a tread patterned
after the wooly bogger tire. it has chevrons on the sides with a zig zag
up the center. the transfer case is the 205 (is that the right # for the
cast iron gear gase?) the low gear set on the c6 is like running 3.73
gears and stock c-6 instead of 3.50 gears.

i have had problems with universals, but found that as long as they are all
new and well taken care of i can get by with the ones from parts america -
they have a lifetime warrrenty on them for my truck. this year my yokes
bit the dust several times and all this breakage goin' on has scarred my
driveshaft. so possibly it will be the next weak link.

most breaks i have replaced with same parts. right now all parts are oem
> or oem replacement, i have no exotic stuff in the axles, etc. my tranny is
the most exotic using roller bearings thru out and competition kevlar
clutch packs. of course, the second gear band is totally worn out now so
that i can't hit second gear if i am on the throttle much. i need to fix
that before i take the truck to the dirt drags.

i can talk about my pull truck all day - anything else? :)

I think the 203 is cast iron too but it's full time so your's is
probably the 205. It's marked right on the case in big numbers.

Where did you find 27.5" agressive tires like that? Are the special
for pulling?

Sounds like the late 70's vintage wide ratio gear set. I have this
in my 78 Pu and it's like running low rear gears as you say but still
get the good top end with the 2.75's. Do you have the 5 plate low
gear clutch pak?

the tires are retreads that i got from a guy who used them for dirt drags
and the 7 miler races on a cj jeep. he told me the guy who did them won't
do them anymore and i have yet to find ANYONE who will retread tires with a
special kind of tread like this.
as for the trans, GER built it so i am not sure of the exact number of
plates but on the phone i think he said it does have the 5 plate clutch
pak. i would actually like a lower ratio trans gear but none are available
unless i drive a chevy.
it is a 205 t-case.
for the street, the regular tranny gears work fine as the 460 unless built
seriously wrong, has more than enough torque to pull a forest full of
stumps at one time. i only got the low gear set for the pulling track.
