I was told by an old jeep mechanic that the last usmc batch that kaiser produced had a higher gearing than past models and hence did not need an overdrive. I have done alot of research and the only documented difference i can find is the posi track. Does anyone know if they did have a diferent gearing ?

I never heard of that both the Military M38A1 and the Civilian CJ-5 with the 134CI OHV had 5:38 gears, they did have 3.73 and 4.11's as an option in the CJ-5's later on but that was when they started to use the V-6's as an option..
