Hi, ES,

i had not thought about a 242, does it have a centre diff in it like the paj case?

i didnt want to have to muck around with speedo stuff, that was one of the reasons to keep the
mitsu case the other was to keep active trac.

i already have the 3.15 gears in my case, but for my use its either too low or not low enough. with a doubler of 2.72 the 3.15 gears would give me a low of 113.1 which is way way too low for me. If i do this i would put the 1.90 back in , so that my low would then be 68.1 with a doubler. the doubler would effectively give me 3 possible lows as follows.

Mitsu case in low & NP in hi = 25.1 (standard)
Mitsu case in hi & NP in low = 36.1 (which is 40% lower than standard )
Mitsu case in low & NP in low = 68.1 which would be just about perfect with the auto.

I also have the 3.15 in my gen3 which has a deeper 1st gear of 3.79 (Gen2 = 2.8) , that give me about 51.1 low which I still find too low sometimes & not low enough other times. I reckon the above 68.1 would be perfect?

I use the Gen 2 for getting around the property & a standard lo is good for that as you can travel at a reasonable speed while still being in low. The 3.15 are a bit too low in that application but I live with it or slip back into hi. But I also haul around a dirty big trailer with a wood splitter attached to it as well. My mian wood cutting site is on top of a hill with a fairly steep incline. With a full trailer of wood plus the logsplitter the 3.15 are still not low enough to avoid braking. Even the Gen3 with its low of 51.1 is still not low enough, thats why I reckon the 68.1 would be good. I also 'play' in the creek which as a lot of unstable rocks in it , so a deep low is good there as well.

BTW what do you reckon about the NWFab unit?? The guys till hasnt got back to me yet if the smaller until can be fitted with the 23 spline output??


cheers
