Sorry, forgot to answer this question:

what are the factory gear ratios in a gen 1 v6


(Somebody please correct me if any of the below info is known to be incorrect)

Stock V6 diffs (edit:all stock diffs, not just V6 diffs) should have the same ratio in all Gen I's and II's (don't know about later models) --> 4.625

Also, these should be the same in all Gen I's and II's (don't know about later models):

Stock transmission gears
First: 3.918
Second: 2.261
Third: 1.395
Fourth: 1.000
Fifth: 0.829
Reverse: 3.925

Stock transfer-case --> 1.925

Mark Hardman (in Australia) sells custom-made 2.85 t-case gears (got a set...they are sweet <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />) but I don't know if he has any available at this present time.

As I understand it, a few U.S. models were sold with "high-altitude kits" which came with 4.88 diff gears, but I've never run across one. I believe I'd heard that 4.88 gears were more of a standard overseas. The 5.29 diff gears, sadly however, never made it into the U.S. market.
