Noisy Ranger overdrive

[Ironmike439]

I’m trying to help a friend locate a ranger overdrive to replace his noisy old one. He currently runs a Chevy 350 to an advance adapter bellhousing, older ranger gear splitter between the bellhousing and the 76 h42 4 speed mated to a 3 speed transfer case. Any info would be appreciated. His old ranger was an early case serial number. Not sure if that matters.

Have you considered just putting in a H55F and split transfer case? You would have a lower 1st gear and an overdrive 5th.

New H55Fs have a 60 series top cover which is what you want for a V8 in a FJ40.
Can also gear gears for the split cases for 3.0:1 or 4.0:1. Change the 4.11:1 diffs for 3.70:1 to make the first gear in the H55F more street friendly gear. Lower range gear in the transfer off road more than makes up for the higher diff gears
