Ok before you ask I've done so many searches but just want direct answers

I currently have a stock 1.3 sierra running 31s

Now I haven't been wheeling yet with the tyres but on road hasn't really changed to much other than a bit more pressure on my clutch.

I'm heading powelines in the next few weeks and just looking for a cheaper option to make it around the basic tracks

I'm a student btw that's why I'm sounding cheap ahaha

Questions:
Firstly,do 1l transfer boxes offer a lower ratio to deal with larger tyres?

Second, are all 1l transfer boxes the same?

Third, are they a direct swap with with wt cases?

I know this has probly been answered a hundred times but I've been searching for hours and the questions I any answered always seem to be hidden ahaha

Any help would be good

Hey 89suzi..

Yep, 1ltr transfer case will offer lower gearing to cope with larger tyres..

Will they be enough for 31's? Can be a bit personal.. Some will love it that way, others will yearn for lighter gearing still!!

I don't know off the top of my head what the ratios are for 1ltr and the percentage reduction but others will know.. I will try a quick search (but I'm on night shift so my motivation to scour the threads is slim at best :-D ).

There are two different types of 1ltr t/f case. Switched and non-switched.

The switched one should be a bit more straight forward to put into a WT. you can put non-switched in, but you might need to fluff around with the drive shaft flanges or something!? I think :-D

http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator

To start you off, the above website is a good calculator to gauge the differences in different tyres.. If you get the tyre circumference and compare your 31's to standard, you should get a picture or starting point on how much you MIGHT want to adjust the gearing.

But again, it can be personal. If your happy with it, run it. If it causes a problem, resolve it :-)

Check back if I find more info

Thanks heaps! Good to know yeah I think I might just go with the 1l case as I don't really go out very often more of just a weekend or work car a couple of times a week.

How can you tell the difference between the 2 cases?

And is it basically a direct bolt on? Or with new mounting holes need drilled, flanges changed etc?

A bit out if my depth answering this conclusively.. I haven't done the swap on mine yet, but the switched is supposed to be easier and I don't think it's a massive mod..

The mounts look the same but it's the drive flanges that can be tricky.. But again, until I've done it for myself I can only say what others tell me or I've read here. Others will be able to tell you more than me!

How to tell the difference? The switched t/f has a wire hanging off near the shift stick.. That is what activates the 4x4 light on your dash, the non-switched case doesn't have the switch :-)

Switched 1ltr case pictured, didn't spot a non-switched on a brief google search but you can see the switch in the pic near the selector

Hmm the issues with the drive shafts is that the flanges bolting together?

What I was thinking is swapping my wt transfer flanges into the 1l box?
Thanks for you help I understand its hard when you haven't done it yourself ahaha I'm just trying to suds out wether itl be worth the work or not

Yeah might just give it a go ahaha see what happens I can't see the car being that much of a pig to drive it isn't everyday around town but I think that's just personal preference

Still would like some info on the conversion? It's its just a bolt it
