Hi All,
I know overdrive units have been discussed in the past, but I have not found any thread where someone has provided feedback that actually owns a Ranger Overdrive Torque Splitter in our trucks. I am looking to put one in my truck for a towing application (85 CC 7.3 Turbo'd w T-19 Dually 3.55). I have the numbers below and the Torque Splitter looks on paper to be way better than a ZF-5. Does anyone have any personal experience with a Ranger Overdrive behind an IDI, or even towing with one?
The options are T-19 HD (with the 6.32:1 1st) or a ZF-5 (Gas Wide Ratio). My desire is to keep the 3.55 but they are not great when towing heavy loads. The ranger overdrive may allow me to do that, but the 420ft/lb max is iffy in the event I swap another engine in down the road. The ZF-5 may need 4.10s in order to haul heavier loads and compensate for the wide spread ratio.
**I couldn't find how to insert a table so the gear ratios are attached in a jpg.
