Title: Thoughts on more swaping
Post by: blacknight on February 09, 2005, 04:26:40 AM

I have an XL-7 and have no options as far as gears go. So what I was thinking about was swapping in a GV trans. in place of the xl-7 one. This would regear me to run 32-33 tires and allow to get t-case gears as well.   This should be just a bult in thing but what ECU will it care or not?  An thoughts any one ???

Yeah, I'd go for the t-case swap, that gv tranny by those ratios isn't gonna help. For 32-33's you may need to double in a sammy case for more reduction. But, with an auto it may be tolerable on the street.
