avg crawl ratio ?

[War-Jeeper]

Curious what one uses a 300:1 ratio for? I think Marlin's site says around 230:1 is "ideal."

its mainly useless except snow or super technical rocks where you would prefer to idle super super slow through things, or like me you had to use it because your motor was going tits up and made zero power anymore:haha:

 

[notstock]

244:1

or for me with absolutely no driving skills, use to putting the hammer down to do anythingand everything......maybe it will save me some clutch, or axles:haha::fawkdancesmiley:MAYBE...cheers, brain

For the record from my experiance roughly around 100:1 is a happy place :awesomework:

Crawl ratio only matters when ur going slow. If ur a hammer down kinda guy its all about tire size N ponys.

Thats pretty much a no brainer---when "crawl" ratio's are talked about we are usually talking about "crawling" :redneck:

But yes you can have all the reduction in the world and not enough ponies to bump up stuff.

t18+dana 300+ 3.73 +tractor motor= good enough.:awesomework:

How the hell would you know about big tires and the skinny pedal???:fawkdancesmiley:

I don't rember what calculator I used
thairs a 6 pi

My favorite position in my dual cased Toyota is 1 case in (4.7) and second gear.......yes, even on the rocks. My clutch is fine.:hi:



This is just another example of driving skill......or lack.

4.7...of course your clutch is fine, because you have the right gears :haha:

 

[hlb3]

SM420/3speed Cruiser T-case/factory 4.10's = 66:1

It's good for most things, I would love to be about 100:1.

Oh good....so we agree.:awesomework:

it is not final drive ratio.it is the first gear in your trans.cheers, brian

No it's the final I tryed to past it did not come thrue
so I typed it:awesomework:

 

[monstaru]

think what you wish, but the calc don't lie.
first gear x
t case x
crawl box x
r&p=crawl ratio

this is a basic calc, but it shows true numbers.the effectiveness of your ratio is determined by your tire size.cheers, brian

You need to stop using online calculators and use a real calculator. Just multiply all of the gear ratios together....For the transmission only use the lowest gear...

For the torque converter debate I've learned from experience that the lower your gearset is the less give the torque converter will have. Once you hit about 100:1 or so with a stock converter it's effectively 1:1 and you no longer need to factor it in.

I'm about 40:1....works good:awesomework:
