Also hydra, did you have the 5.9 and 3.92's in your built one? I am hoping for 18+when I travel to the other side of the state at least...is this a total dream for me?

Mine was a 5.9L and 3.92's with 31 10.5 15 tires. Yes, I think that is a dream.


Go re-read your visor, also look in your owners manual, and look at the service manual, you are backwards my friend! 4PT is only for slippery surfaces and 4FT is all road surfaces.

Your right Hydra...lol I did have it backwards...
Well that is good that I know that now considering snow is coming soon...
18mpg is a stretch you think? Even at 65mph?
Dang...anyone with an lsd want to swap 3.55 for my 3.92? lol

you cant do that without changing the front gearing too, otherwise you cripple the 4wd system

LoL I know...if anyone wanted to swap I am hoping they would want both the front and rear gears. Guess it is nice to have the 3.92 in town...helps a bit there.

God I'm good.....LMFAO!

18 mpg, not going to happen.

To change gears in a 4X4 you have to swap both axles as Sharps stated, well if you ever think about using it again. You have the perfect combo! Want to switch my 4.10 to your 3.92 and include a 8.0L "488 CDI" engine? Then we can talk about gas mileage! You got nothing to complain against.

I think you are living in a dream world, and reality is starting to hit, sorry to say.

I dont mind really...I will take the ability to always get where I need to go vs mpg anyday. Just a hope and dream really...lol
Plus I did in a way buy this for the hope of using it to tow snowmobiles during the winter!

Cause I tested it out in some mud today and the dash lights up with the part time 4wd when I pull it down. And it does click back and forth.
That LSD Kicks serious A** though! It rained today and I was doing 10+foot burns in an old parking lot!

Two things I can promise you:

1: Almost any vehicle will do "burnouts" on wet pavement. Almost....

2: Your vehicle(s) will break down on you often, never last you very long, and you'll most likely not even understand why.
