Re: ranger overdrive install
What a great thread. You did a nice job, I really like the pictures and the explanations.
Finding a 4.56 or even a 4.11 would really be cool. I figure that with a higher ratio you'll have that Ranger paid for in no time. In the first couple of pictures, I was blown away at how solid your truck is. I'm guessing that it's not from Florida?

Re: ranger overdrive install
This is high on my list, I'm running the sm420 in my c30 and when I get it on the road the higher gear would be nice, any finished photos?

Re: ranger overdrive install
Very cool! Maybe I'll do something like this for my truck instead of spending 2K for a whole new tranny. Sorry if I missed something..but how much did the OD unit cost and where to get one?

Re: ranger overdrive install
Great write up! Thank you. I've been looking at getting one of these units and bolting it up to a SM420 like you did.
Any long term usage information to add?
