Looking at HETs and like except the 45mph / low mpg....looks like the transfer case is reduction unit in both high and low and axles have reduction that Im not really sure that I understand....
below are specs that I would like for someone knowledgable to comment on - Im wondering if a direct 1:1 high range / whatever low range - transfer case was substituted and something could be done to eliminate differential carrier reduction - a final drive of 4.63 would be golden for highway use
can anyone explain how differential carrier / planetary hub works and if they know how to accomplish what Im looking for at a reasonable budget ?
Transfer: Manufacturer: Oshkosh Truck Corporation, 55000
Type: Two Speed, Air Operated Front Axle Disconnect
Ratio: 9.85:1 and 2.464:1
Axles: Manufacturer: Rockwell SVI 5MR
Type: Driving, Planetary Hub Reduction, Double Cardan Joint Steering Axles, 30/70 Split
Inter-Axle Differential Interlock: Manual Control
Gear Ratios: Final - 7.36:1; Differential Carrier - 1.59:1; Planetary Hub - 4.63:1
