Hi Guys,

Finally got to install my gears. Took a bit longer as I also installed a new skid plate and buggered up the center diff lock install and had to drop the xfr again to get it sorted out. BIG shout out to Tools R Us for helping me out on this. More below. First of all, my overall impressions:

Only have 350 miles with the new gears, 10% UD and 25% low range reduction. There is a noticeable difference in acceleration and climbs slight highway hills with ease now. I have not had a chance to put this on the trail or on the freeway with real hills with some elevation (Phoenix to Flag) but have been on the Phoenix freeways and did get a chance to drop her into low range on a very easy dirt road. WOW! Extremely noticeable difference in low range. Go easy on the gas the first few times you use this, you will be absolutely surprised how much of a change there is. I am looking forward to getting her out on the trails to really try them out.

There is some additional noise, as reported elsewhere, on the road. The sound mimics electronic hum. It is noticeable with the radio off but is not bad at all. In fact, I really didn't notice this till a couple days later. I have MTs and cut off my exhaust resonator for by 4x Labs rear bumper along with a snorkel so, I already have a lot going on for the added noise department so a little more noise is no issue in my book.

The actual install went well. The video posted on Youtube was invaluable. Two sets of hands are a huge help when dropping the gear package back into the case.

Now for where I screwed up. I followed the directions precisely but, I still managed to get the center diff and the diff lock out of phase. I had to drop everything again to get it sorted out. SO, as a heads up to everyone who has yet to do this:

1. Do not use FIPG on the diff lock actuator until AFTER you are sure you have them in phase.
2. Hook up the actuator before installing it and turn the key to accessory. Make sure that it works as you cycle high to low and back again.
3. Temporarily install the actuator and all electronics on the xfr case, raise it up and hook up the linkage to the transfer case lever.
4. Turn on the key and work your way though the transfer case to make sure they are in phase. You MAY have to rotate the drive shaft to get it to lock.
5. Once done, drop the case again so you can install the actuator with FIPG. DON'T forget to disconnect the transfer case linkage though!
6. Button it up and test one more time before hitting the road.

One final thought. Once I tried it out I was getting an intermittent vibration under hard acceleration or turning. Initially I thought I had assembled something wrong. Long story short it was the exhaust pipe cushions, they had completely separated. My Hana Slider, which I had to remove and will sell, was helping to mask the failed cushions. Once I removed it, the exhaust pipe was free to rattle around as it liked. SO, as you our rigs are a tad old, if you are working on this anyway, replace the cushions while you are under the rig. You will thank me latter.

So Kurt, I am VERY happy with the product and look forward to putting them through the paces here in the near future. Thank you for getting us a much needed option!

Is that minor additional noise expected to minimize or disappear over time?

 

[Azca]

I hope not, that means there will be no teeth on the gears left! I am not sure why there is a whine/hum. It, to me, is not annoying but it is present. Best suggestion I would have is to drive with someone who is going to replace these gears before and after the installation. That way you will be able to hear the difference. For me, the gains far outweigh the perceived nuisance the noise may cause. I am far more annoyed by the rattling piece of plastic on my sunroof that the hum. I really don't think it is that noticeable, I am very sensitive to noise.

 

[bryson]

The t-case gears are straight-cut, and are going to make noise - some gear noise is normal, and should be expected. It might diminish slightly over time as the gears wear, but I wouldn't expect a noticeable difference. These are noisier than stock gears (which are also straight-cut and make noise if you listen closely) because the lower ratio makes everything spin a bit quicker.

**edit for incorrect info**

Well, I'm fake news. See below:

All the gear in the transfer case are helically cut, they would be super noisy if they were straight cut.

The underdrive are noisier than stock as they are fudging numbers around to get the ratio. Properly designed gear trains should be near silent as long as they are in good working order(and with the proper gear design).



These are still a great option, and have proven reliable over seas, so I would have no worries about the noise and longevity.

 

[Azca]

One last item I found today. Please make sure you remove your air intake before lowering the transmission/xfr case. I cracked mine at the corrugations. Of course, I only realized this after I replaced the O2 sensors...

I travel to Flagg and Payson a lot, and run 33's, so I'm very interested in your assessment

You are indeed correct. I knew I needed to double check my thinking before posting, I just didn't do it. Edited now.

Finally got mine on the I-17 freeway up to the Verde Valley from Phoenix. The vehicle could hold 67 mph, with the cruise control, all the way up. It felt to start huffing at about 3,400 feet on the 6% grade (the steepest point). Probably would have dropped below 65 if it was any longer. On the way back to PHX and out of the Verde Valley, she did great, never below 70 with room on the go pedal to spare, I believe I could have kept it at 75 or more if I wanted to. This run was a 6% grade as well and tops out a little over 4,700 feet.

So the gearing is a noticeable improvement. Did not have heavy traffic so I am not sure how much better she will respond when having to drop the RPM and try to accelerate up these stretches. Did not get to go all the way to Flag, will have to report back on that later.

This is awesome to hear. I am definitely interested in doing this now. What gear ratio would you think it is closer to 4.56 or 4.88?

I went up the 87 towards Payson yesterday and some of those long hills the LC struggled on 35s with the 4.10 stock gears.

2nd gear will pull all the hills to and from Payson at 65 no problem.

 

[OffRoadScott]

2nd gear will pull all the hills to and from Payson at 65 no problem.

I am thinking of living dangerously and regearing to 4.56 and running the 10% UD and 25% low range reduction.

Has anyone run this setup?

Still will not be able to pull the hills to Payson at 65 in 3rd with a 10% UD.

1.1 gears AND 4.56 axle gears??? Why?

Complete waste of money. Just regear axles to 4.88 (or 5.29.)

I HAVE the 1.1 gears (and 3.1). The whole point of them is to NOT have to touch axles. 4.56x1.1=5.01. No meaningful benefit over just 4.88 axle gears. The 1.1 gears are NOISY on the highway/freeway. If mud tires don’t bother you at all noise wise, you likely won’t care. I do and am thinking about pulling mine 1.1 gears out and regearing the axles.

 

[HDJdreams]

I am watching 3 or 4 threads on these gears and lose track of what has been said where.

Here’s the explanation on noise of the 1.1 gears:

If the hf2av uses 3 gears to drive the output shaft in high range, how does the underdrive kit work?

Since you have 3 gears in a row like oOo then it would seem you have to replace all 3, right? Or does the old idler shaft gear just mesh kinda poorly with the new high range output and input?
