Hi Volks, I may have another silly idea. I am planning on having my diesel ratio transaxle rebuilt with a 1st and second ratio change to a 4.13 and 2.25 if my memory is correct to aide pulling my small fishing boat out of the water. My silly idea is that with 215/75/15 bfg all terrains matched to my diesel ratio transaxle is about the same as my dk transaxle with my 195/75/14. I was thinking that when I'm bringing the boat camping I will run the 14" wheel package to take some load off the engine/transaxle and when I am not bringing the boat Ill use the big wheel package to gain some hwy speed? It's so crazy, it just might work?? Velma 82 1.9L AAZ td westy |
