I had more time to think about it. I am convinced my statement is true. Basically the pinion gear drives the ring. The ring spins the carrier (excuse me if my terms are off in this discussion). The carrier spins the spider gear shaftes. Now if both axles are spinning at the same rate...
According to my memory......the above is Not true...... if one tire is not moving, half of the differential will be fixed and the differential will double the rpm on the spinning output side. At least that is my recollection of what happens.
Steve would probably have a better explanation...
You will need to measure the rotation at both hubs simultaneously. With open differentials, one side can either increase or decrease the rotation of the other. If you measure both you can tell if the differential is messing with your results.

So you lose 1 MPG for the added axle and weight? That does not sound too bad of a trade. Percentage wise it is huge, but by absolute numbers not so bad.

My understanding was that the higher HP road versions also had different hard components, like pistons, injectors, turbos, etc.....
I am I right?

I assume you were not pulling a trailer?
My HP curiosity stems from a conversation I had with Wehring about the higher speed gears and HP. He recommended higher horsepower if you are carrying a load and using higher speed gears.
I have done the sports car with way too much tuning...
I know this is highly subjective, but is the the C7 already at its highest durable HP? You guys have already said to leave the 3116 and 3126 alone.
Thanks

I have read multiple posts on different horse power ratings for the 3116, 3126, and c7.
I realize that these motors are on many platforms that are not the standard FMTV platforms that I might find at auction. Also some of these other motors may have upgrades that are hard upgrades (not ecu...
Anyone with the 3.07 gears have any issues with not enough torque for hill climbing, off-road, towing, etc? I have heard that without hp upgrades higher speed gears can cause everything to be sluggish when you would naturally need more torque.
