Pour some Coke on those rims
They're simulators, not rims. That's why I'll be looking into buying new ones if they're still being made.Pour some Coke on those rims
This makes sense. It sounded strange to me since I have no experience with the aftermarket units at all. This is the first one that I've seen. From what little research I've done on them, the gear ratio is supposed to be .80:1. From what I can remember, there was two different ratios for the ZF5. .76 and .74 (?). I was going off of that. I hadn't figured in the slippage of the C6.Regarding the 300 RPM drop for the overdrive, keep in mind the DN unit can't force the engine RPM below the torque converter stall speed, so slip will eat up some of the RPM drop
I believe the wide ratio were .71 and close ratio of all my zfs are .77. that is a damn good find on that truck though!This makes sense.

Thanks.Looks like a great deal! Good luck with the new project.
Well I guess I was kind of close. I really haven't even looked at the tag on one in almost 20 years.I believe the wide ratio were .71 and close ratio of all my zfs are .77. that is a damn good find on that truck though!
Thanks Wes. You'll be helping me out with this one. I did promise to use you on my next build. Here it is. It will take a long time though.Sweet truck Jeremy congrats on the new project!
If this is going to be your dream build to enjoy, do everything the best you can or at least can save for and afford.After the experience of the last treasure truck being slammed into my back bumper and costing me a perfect Brick Nose front bumper, I was a little leery about trying to flat tow this one back. I wanted to check the brake action first. When I stepped on the brake pedal, it went to the floor so I knew that it was trailer time. I'm pretty sure that I found the reason why it did. Judging by the rust and wrinkled pain on the brake booster, I'm pretty sure that the master cylinder leaked. I had planned to go through the brakes since she's been sitting for so long. I had eventually wanted to put hydroboost brakes on this. Now I have to decide which way to go here. I'd like to go ahead with the hydroboost since even the master cylinder is bad.
