Is there a stock combination that would work? Something from a 1/2- or 3/4-ton Chevy pickup? Or is the NV4500 the only game in town?

acy76,
I am looking for the NV3550 tranny that came in the 2000-2003 Jeeps. It has a higher first gear and weighs in at about 2/3 the weight of the bigger brother nv4500. It also direct bolts up to the Dana 300
. And it has a nice OD ratio. Keep in mind I am installing this into an 86 CJ-7 Jeep.
