Been busy with other stuff and Pandemic and all. But I'm getting closer to finally getting all square on the bus and searching for a rear has come around. I found a
4.44 or a 4.10 for 550$ with exchange. I have to check my trans numbers to be sure but from what I can tell I've got a
Spicer 5 speed
Es42-5a/5d
Es52-5a/5d
Difference being 4th gear split 5a/5d and power level between Es42 and Es52
Rear gear /Final drive ratio /Rpm at 65mph Es42-5a 3rd 2.21 4th 1.42 5th 1.00
5.38 3rd 11.88 4th 7.64 5th 5.38 / 2726
4.44. 3rd 9.81 4th 6.30 5th 4.44 / 2250
4.10. 3rd. 9.06 4th 5.82 5th 4.10 / 2078

5.38 3rd 11.99 4th 6.94 5th 5.38 / 2726
4.44 3rd 9.90 4th 5.72 5th 4.44 /2250
4.10 3rd. 9.13. 4th 5.28 5th 4.10 / 2078
So I'm wondering if I'm getting greedy with the 4.10 and will it still accelerate at all plus will it still pull a hill in 4th or would I have to maybe drop to 3rd ? With the wide ratio box it would essentially be a .78 Od from my current gear. . I guess I need to look at trans and see what it is. The wide and close ratio makes more difference that the power rating and tiny ratio difference but I hope its the heavier duty one for sure. The 4.10 would be 2397rpm at 75mph which would be pretty nice on long drives. That 10mph over 10 hours cuts an 1:40 off. The 4.44 will have me at the end of comfortable at 2423 rpm at 70 but Making full power near 65 at 2250.
I need to get the pyro hooked up and turn the fuel screws too.
