Hello NTD - when you swapped diff gear sets did you also have to swith out the bevel/hub wheel end gears to achieve 6:14 final ratio?
Thank you!
Thank you!

No sir, the ratio change is all in the pumpkin.Hello NTD - when you swapped diff gear sets did you also have to swith out the bevel/hub wheel end gears to achieve 6:14 final ratio?
Thank you!
If I understand this right Bryce (contact via facebook as noted earler in this thead) sells the pumpkin guts/Center Section with R&P attached. It's a fully assembled unit. Lot cheaper than shipping whole axle and easier to install.I would like to know as well if there is anyone selling the gears from these axles or the axles themselves. I am in the south now (GA, thanks Army for making me move during the hottest part of the year), but would be willing to travel to get these gears/axles to help finish my expedition camper build.
I call them gear over box. 3.07 gear with 2 to1 hubs makes 6.14 final ratio.If I understand this right Bryce (contact via facebook as noted earler in this thead) sells the pumpkin guts/Center Section with R&P attached.

Side note about 6x6 and High Speed gears. Talked to him last week. He does sells High Speed Gears for Intermediate axle (front axle of 6x6 pair) but this unit is also attached to the Power Divider* that powers via short driveshaft the rear most axle . So you swap the whole Power Divider out. He said by visual inspection the actual R&P looks same as the other High Speed R&P but that he's not disassembled and compared closely to know for sure. So there is a Remote possibility that the right person with axle rebuild knowledge could disassemble things down far enough to swap the R&P's only in any of the axles if it came to it. Right now with the market having whole center sections and Power Dividers available it's just easier to swap that whole section.
*Power Divider- was calling this the Offset Gear Box in previous post.... for not yet knowing it's official name.
Would you also say the actual Ring and Pinon that is part of this box looks near identical or identical to the R&P that is fitted in Front or Rear most axle? They have different part numbers buttttt?I call them gear over box. 3.07 gear with 2 to1 hubs makes 6.14 final ratio.
I removed the pinion cover to look at it, the R&P is totally different in the gear over box than the front axle and third axle chunk. The end of the pinion has the oil pump mounted on it.Would you also say the actual Ring and Pinon that is part of this box looks near identical or identical to the R&P that is fitted in Front or Rear most axle?

The power divider is a common term used in the heavy truck industry. Your typical 3 axle tractor trailer only the rear axle is powered all the time the center axle is only powered when traction is limited. I used to work at a truck repair shop and we replaced 2-3 of the power dividers a week because drivers would leave them engaged on the highway.If I understand this right Bryce (contact via facebook as noted earler in this thead) sells the pumpkin guts/Center Section with R&P attached.
