5.29 Impressions? (From those who have them)

[akarilo]

Did you set up the gears yourself, or a local shop?

Big D's Off Road did the setup on R&P.

Big D's Off Road did the setup on R&P.

Didn't think I'd get lucky enough for a Tulsa shop.

Are you still considering the Marlin TC gears?

For reference, can some of you post up what your tire size, diff ratio and speed/RPM is in low range? I am attempting to determine crawl speeds/RPM for various diff ratios.
Also include if the number is O/D on in highest trans gear. Thanks, Terry

5.29 36"(measured) low range OD 3000rpm = 33mph

5.29 36"(measured) low range 1st 3000 rpm = 9mph

Since I have a 4.88 80 & am buying a 2nd 80 already setup with 5.29's - go 5.29's

I'll relegate my current DD (4.88 one) to road duty & the new one (5.29's & getting Interco's) to dirt & towing the jet sled.

Big D's is local. It's on Charles Page Blvd close to downtown.

I would still like the Marlin's but I'm broke for now .

Man, that is very close to what my low range is with 35s and stock 4:10 gears.

I'm stick'n with the stockers since the new low range gears does what I need. Thanks, Phil. Terry
