Offroad the 50% increase, that I see a few complaints about, it a wonderful thing. ALl I can say is "Try it before you say it should be more" It is enough to make a BIG difference.


Is it true for manual only or for automatic also ?
I have an automatic transmission and I have not felt
yet that I need more reduction. Actually, I even have to
switch from 4-Lo to 4-Hi sometimes to get better traction,
like when I stuck in deep soft sand. My 3.2V6 is strong
enough to pull me out of anything, if I have some traction.
And I have just 4.10 gears and 31" tires.

But sometimes I do have better traction with 4-Lo.
For example, in snow, when I switch to 4-Lo from 4-Hi
I feel better traction. May be, on such surface I'd do
better with 3.07, I do not know.

When really low T-case matters for automatic ?
(I know about downhills, I am asking about traction).
