JIM:
Thanks for the math. I was looking for something that was really
complicated. Now all I need to do is find what ratios are available for the
Danna 44, pick the closest to 3.312, find $250+ to buy the ring gear and
pinion, and then learn how to install them along with the Jag posi I found
in Pick-Your-Part.
Thnx
Jc

John,
2.88 X 1.15= 3.312
May try the GtecPro out tomorrow if I can find a clear space with no cops.
