Only 180:1 before you factor in the torque converter. Could be lower.Double low range is going to be pretty darn low for most occasions.
No kidding! Definitely the most interesting thread going right now.Can't wait to see this thing in action!
I concur, also I remember there being some discussion to the oil capacity of the doubler and keeping it cool or whatever when driving down the highway. Keen to see if this is true or not, and what you might do to mitigate that issue.No kidding! Definitely the most interesting thread going right now.
Basically I'm stubborn. I've always tried to stay outside the lines, and this fits that bill a bit. Plus, I haven't found the limits of this tcase, or the axles quite yet. I really want to see this tcase hold up, maybe to a fault. Plus, if I can run it successfully, maybe others will buy this thing.Maybe I missed it as I haven’t read every post here but, why not just go with an Atlas that will bolt up to the 4L80E? Seems like one tons that would accommodate the center rear output are in the future anyway.

hose clamp. thats a good trick. I cut my nitro chromoly axle last time and it was a tiny bit off. had to use a flap disc anyway to bevel the edges but I'll keep that in mind for next time.6l80 has been converted to 4wd. Pro tip, use a hose clamp to mark your line on the shaft to cut, it's an easy guide to follow, and won't shift or disappear on you while working. Trying to get better at taking pictures while actually doing things, but obviously still miss a ton of stuff.
Next up, mating the whole thing together, and starting to mock it up in the engine bay.
Longblock VS. longblock, this motor is 285lbs lighter. By the time you factor intake manifolds, accessories, and everything else I pulled from underhood, I am guessing about 325-350lbs lighter.Haha forgot you went with a V6! I wonder how much lighter the 4.3 is than the 4.5.
