why would that break stuff....0.05 of a gear off...whoopie ****, think that makes a difference in 3 feet of snow...no
3.50 and 3.55 the different is only noticeble on dry ground...and i did that once to make sure it was the t-case that was ****ed again...not something else
LOL

i wasn't referring to so much the difference in the gears as to the fact that your running 35' tires on such high gears, that has to be putting a ton of extra stress on your whole drive train, but then again, you say you always drive with your hubs locked, so if that turns yours t-case (i think it does anyway lol) that .05 over time will build up alot of stress? ah heck i say just throw that ttb back in there and all this foolishness will go away

yeah my bad typo
thats what i meant though...35's and 3.55s is like having really high gearin (2.48 is my ACTUAL ratio...ouch LOL) so thats putting less torque to the wheels and less stress on the rest right...
i meant to say lower gearing (but numerically higher
) would put more torque to the wheels and more stress on the rest of the drivetrain

I can't say that its bad for you to have such high gearing because of that, but i'm sure your engine would thank you if you regeared lower.
Then again, I still need to regear my F-350 lol.
(THEN AGAIN, i've got a fire breathing 460, what do YOU have? :P)

well ill give you credit for that one that was pretty quick...kinda like you..or so i hear 
LOL
i got my t-case today, looks in good shape, cant wait to tear into it...heavy bitches arent they, im mean considering their size they are very deceptive LOL...looks all light and fluffy, well no...probably comparable in weight to that d44 solid axle i got, and i still dont know exaclty how i managed to get either out of the back of my truck myself witout breaking stuff LOL
i think it might have oil in it too...probably didnt help much
pics or it didnt happen
it says 79 bronco on it, i thought they only came with the 203?, oh well, looks liek a 205 to me...now i get to twin stick it and replace some seals and inspect everything then hopefully in 2 weeks get my ZF to go in front of it
