4x4falcon
Hi All,
A technical question re differential ratios.
I have two 4x4's.
1. 1972 4x4 Falcon Utility. Front ratio 4.10:1 Rear ratio 4.0:1
2. 1986 F100 LWB. Front and Rear ratio 3.50:1
I recently purchased a complete front diff for the F100 with ARB air locker but with 3.54:1 ratio.
My question is given that the 1972 Falcon has .1 difference between the ratios would there be a problem with the .04 difference between the ratios in the F100.
I can see no real issue other than an absolute miniscule amount of wheel slip/spin from the front wheels. Have not noticed this at all in the Falcon with the greater difference in ratios.
Any toughts or comments greatly appreciated.
Just trying to save having to completely disassemble two diff to change over the air locker.
Regards
Ross
