6.5s fuckin rock!

That is all.

[ajsr]

didn't you have gears before?
what tyres you running?
and yes they are cool

[lump_a_charcoal]

I had stock gears before, but had 5.12 diffs, with 31s.
Now I have 3.9 diffs, with the 31s still, and the 6,5s, it's pretty good!

[v.w.dave]

Just a tip...
If your transcase mounts arn't already renewed you need to do so...

[lump_a_charcoal]

Yeah I have a mighty kong cradle, with brand new mounts.

i fuckin told you ages ago. Im glad you woke up to yourself.

I know the gears have a whine to them, but mine sound like something out of The Jetsons - Is it normal for them to be quite noticeable?

[Dee]

stick it 5th & check out the whine

yes, normal, they are spinning fuckin fast in there...

Mine quietened down a bit after not too long.

[Rockhopper]

In low range - yes they have a whine, but in high range mine does sound a little differant to standard but definatly not a whine

After the first oil change (probably about 800kms) I might put some teflon goop in...

why don't ya stick in a hyclone at the same time

[acc1]

so where does everyone get there tcase mounts from when putting lower gears in?

Also what is the standard diff gearing for 91 sierra's?

[Rockhopper]

Given the rate of the aussie dollar at the moment I'd be getting mine from lowrangeoffroad.com. It's about $200 au at the moment for the mighty kong transfer bucket + postage, or loctup4x4.com.au have the mighty kong for $429 and that includes shipping. Personally I'd go lowrange.com. I know it'll be a big package but I can't see it being another $200 + in postage

[acc1]

That's where ive been pricing some things.. Ive just not committed to it yet.. :S
So I take it the mighty kong is probably the best one to get out of the lot? They say its the most popular.. Id say that's a good thing..

I have 235's with I assume standard gearing. Should I get 6.5:1? I will be going a size up in tyres when these ones are warn out and I don't wanna change gears twice..

Is it advisable to get the new output shaft to at the same time to? Or will the original do for a while? with or without bearing.

Whats everyone else done with the output shaft?

hmmmmmmm...

[Rockhopper]

I've got 6.5's with 31" tyres and the gearing is about right. Can't advise you on the output shaft. I just replaced all the bearings and the gears in my transfer case and I hav'nt run into any problems yet. Having said that, my sierra had about 140k on the clock from new, had only been offroad after I bought it from the 2nd owner, and had been serviced at suzuki it's whole life before I got it too, so everything was in pretty good nick when I stripped it down

[shep]

apparently the output shaft is ok if it is after 94. i found a 95 trans box and have had no problems with the box or gears at all.

[acc1]

mines a 91 and i know its been used offroad abit already and probably not looked after as well as i do for it.. I wonder if I should try with the normal one then buy the update when / if it needs it? Considering ive only got smallish tyres I think it will be ok for a while?

I just really wanna get some crawling gears back as it sucks not attempting things that are steep / slow sections because I know my gearing will let me down

That and I might get a lockright locker for the rear for it..?

Whats the limit for importing before tax? Is it still $1,500AU or is it something else?

Maybe I should make a list and get my self a big expensive xmas present for my suzi lol
