Regearing the Wagoneer

[Buffalo Phil]

LOL humm guess i had a retarded moment lol but yeah i mean id gear it just so your not like FML on the highway and it has some balls tho

If you are able to get the RPMs with stock ratio and 33" tires with no overdrive, what numbers do I put where to get my RPM with say a new ratio, like 331, with 33s?

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

you type it all in and delete the place that told you the rpm's and then itll put the new answer in

[HeavyMetal]

flore

nitro?

What is the transfer case ratio? I have the Selec-Trac transfercase.

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

if i was joe nitro i woulda spelled it floar

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

when your in 4 hi it is 1:1 also

[Buffalo Phil]

I broke the calculator. It gave me a 6 digit RPM.

This is why I can't have nice things.

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

lololol

[Buffalo Phil]

What fucking numbers are you using and which tab on the calculator?

Why the fuck is this so COMPLEX?? When I wanted to regear the XJ it was just like 'Do 456, all the cool kids are doing it'. Now that I have to figure this shit out on my own, it is like pissing in the dark, trying to hit a 1" wide hole and if I miss, I get pummeled by a giant thorn bush.

LOLOL its not that hard.. go the the third one over on the right pick that one and fill out what it asks for and leave the rpm's one blank

Clearly you are doing it correctly so tell me what answers you are getting.

RPMs with 33s with both 272 and 331 gear ratios at highway speeds.

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

33's stock gears = 1800 rpm
33 3.31 gears = 2190 rpm

stock tires on 2.73 =2200 rpm

All at 65 mph

[Buffalo Phil]

So in essence, 331 ratio will give me a bit more power while not hurting or improving gas mileage by very much. It might be the way to go it seems...

[Pedro]

that what it seems like to me, but would it make that much of a difference to warrant the cost of new gears? just pointing out another side here...

You also have to factor in the increased rolling resistance of larger tires don't you?

I would go 3.55's if it were me, but then again I have given barely any real tech to this thread
