At last the 14B engine is in , driving it just awesome, the torque is very addictive. Now i really feel that 5th gear is required .
Thanks to ArrowheadFilters for helping me in my space constraint issues with some great oil and air filters.
Had some queries regarding the axle ratio, as i do not want to change my GB was contemplating between 3.73 and 4.27 crown pinion ratios for better top end cruising. 90% of my use is regular driving , rest maybe once a month off roading (not extreme breaking my jeep kinda stuff). Considering the engine and GB combo, will changing to 3.73 diff ratio be a wise decision?
