gear ratio opinions

[Roberto]

opinions on gear ratio. I am running turboed BJ42 with 255/85-16's, H55F 5 speed and is my primary daily driver and currently has 3.70's but I am thinking of going back to original 4.11's or maybe even 4.55's for a little more low crawl capability for when I pull my CDN M101 camp trailer or 21' Boat. I have driven diesel Hiluxes overseas with 4.88's and they went through/ up/ over anything even loaded to max with gear and armoured so I thought 4.55 would be a good compromise and still give me ok mileage on hard roads to work and back????

thanks
Rob

Hi All:

Roberto, I'd suggest posting this in the Diesel Section; you are more likely to get responses from folks familiar with turboed 3Bs there.

Good luck!
