I have never driven a 4speed 550, but i can definitly say that the engine still has a lot of power. In other words, engine RPM is very high, that even in 5th gear i dont feel like the engine is relaxed. Thanks --Sree-- | |

4 Speed 550 is what kittigadu has. check with him. why do you want to go for 4.27? instead upgrade your tyres from NDMS to 31". that way your jeep gets a new look too. |

My Blue Machine originally had 5.38 final ratio and while even driving at 60 KMPH, I was always keep looking at the gear nob if it is really on top gear. Than I decided to go for the minimum final ratio, i.e. 3.54 (34.24% decrease from 5.38). It was a great fun driving on the highways but a little problem in puting in top gear in city. You can shift into the 4th, only after 60 KMPH. I drive mainly on soft sand and though there was a power loss in 1st gear but you always have 4L gear. I than changed again the final ratio to 4.27 (which is increase of 20% from 3.54) to have a right combination of city / highway / offroad. Highway ride is not too good after 70 KMPH which I think can be improved by the overdrive gear. | |

When my Jeep was running the stock 2.1 XDP, I'd converted to 4.27 from Ferdi. Highway performance had noticeably improved without a doubt. Offroad capability? Depends where. In most conditions where you use 2nd low (on the 4.88), you'd need 1st low (on the 4.27). There are hardly any conditions where one uses 1st low (of the 4.88), but when they required, expect some clutch slipping (on the 4.27). |

Now I can put the winch back. Although I am still scratching my head about how to secure the winch beyond those 4 nuts. | |

Alternately, with the economic turn down world wide Aishwarya Rai has been forced to pursue business interests outside Hollywood and Bollywood. She has started her own company. For a small retainer she or one of her professionally trained women will come and sit and watch your winch all night. Here is the link: http://www.winch_wench.com / | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yesterday I completed one year of Jeep Ownership. It would be an understatement to say I have enjoyed this experience. It practically opened a new world to me.
Finally, this thread has remained the #1 link on google search results for the last few months when you seach for CJ340. Now, how cool is that? ![]() Last edited by Samurai : 25th May 2009 at 12:57. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() I am having a strange problem with the Jeep after the recent service. Eventhough I have 1/4 tank fuel, the fuel needle jumps to E occasionally and engine sputters to a stop. It happens 2-3 times in a KM and it is really irritating. Then the needle swings back from E to 1/4 tank and I am able to drive. This happens more often if I am driving uphill or downhill. I suspected some issue in the fuel line. But the neighourhood mechanic feels it could be loose connection in the electronic fuel pump. Currently he taken it for a longer drive to Udupi to see the problem occur repeatedly, but I am really wondering. Any ideas? The fuel needle swings wildly, some times staying at E and stalling the engine and then swings back bringing life back to the engine. |
