Actually that is not true. The origanol idea for these was for use by the companies that used the old ducks for doing tours. Same as the brake kit that he was mass producing for these companies a few years back.

I definately like Toms setup. And if I start running my deuce alot more I may consider it too. I thought about Gearharts 5.41 ratio gearest and Toms tranny mod. It would be capable of higher speed IF NEEDED, But I would think with both you could cruise at 65mph even more comfortably as long...

I thought thats what low range was for? :-D Hey Tom what size shafts are in those airlocked axles? I have several sets of 5 tons with the same design airlocker but instead of the standard 2 1/8" 16 spline shafts mine has 2 1/4" 23 spline shafts in them. I was just curious if they upgraded the...

As far as I know rockwell made 2 ratios for the 2.5 axle the 6.72 that most people have and there was another military vehicle that used these axles that had a different ratio but are rare. Talking with Ed at Memphis Equipment awhile back he had mentioned what the vehicle was but didn't know...

Yes you endup with a torque difference but you have to remember that if you install a monster tire on there that is a lot more recipricating weight than the origanol 9.00x20. This in turn will sap more power to turn versus a faster gear ratio in the axle the gears weight diff is minimal. Plus...

I forget the name of the guy. But these gearsets were origanolly made for a customer who drove his deuce from L.A. out into the desert and used it as a motorhome. The guy bought 7 sets of gears and Russ did the install work for him. The guy has been running them for years without a problem...

He makes a lot of other things too for the rockwell. And he can make custom parts too if you need.

It's a little pricey but my buddy Russ at Gearhart Engineering makes a lower numerically gear ratio for the 2.5 ton topload. It's a 5.41:1 ratio. Plus he makes many other cool stuff for the Rockwell axles also. You can checkout his stuff at Gearhart Engineering These are high quality...
