Ok cool, thats very interesting. Well, thats a special experience and also a huge luck that they offer you a test drive. So thank you to share that experience here. I was also one time on their yard, to buy 4 rims for my chevy K30. But i didn't had the luck for an offered test drive.

Good input. Will think about it.

Cool. Thank you. I will try it on the weekend when i find some time.

Wow! That's awesome. Good work! Great inputs.

You got me. ;) I admit that I'm a bit lazy at the moment and I don't have much time because I'm working a lot at the moment.

Interesting, that sounds good. I mean with 2300 rpm's @ 120 km/h i would be absolutely happy. (perhaps i should consider to put a 6L80 on the 6.5?)

Well, here in Switzerland the max. speed on highways are 120 km/h. Therefore it would be cool to drive that speed in a range from 2000 - 2500 rpm's or so.

Ok thats an interesting input. Yes you are right, Switzerland is located half in the alps (mountain chain) and the other half is flat with some smaller hills. But i live in the mountains where streets are usualy quite steep. So at the moment i'm driving with my previous big project i had the...

Hi Tobash, thank you for the welcome ;-) Yes indeed you are right, english is not my first language. Here in Switzerland we usualy speak swiss german, raetoromansh, italian and french. But on my work as a mechanic for helicopter parts we speak more or less english because all the documents are...

Ok, interesting. So let's assume that this gear set really fits without modifications on the housing, would it be the better option to change the ratio there or better on the differential in terms of longevity? Yeah, this company has indeed lots of money. They are also very famous here in...

That menas with other words?

Ok yes you are right, i understand. The 4:1 ratio was anyway a reading mistake by me. (see answer to "springer1981")

About a custom gear set i found something here: BEISPIELFAHRZEUGE-AM-General-Hummer-H1-M998-HMMWV Ok, let's assume i would like to drive with the hmmwv on the highway 120 km/h @ 2000 rpm's in the 4th gear, what would be theoretical differential ratio by calculation?

Hello Mogman, thank you for the welcome. I'm afraid that 2.56 : 1 is not enough to drive it in low rpm's with higher speeds. The info from the 4.0 : 1 ratio i found here: https://www.flashoffroad.com/hmmwv/HummervsHMMWV.htm Let's see if we can gather all the correct infos to complete the list above.
