I would say its because the transfer case reduces gear speed to the front end

[beltstowing]

@bigjohnypop nope , see the other video I have up , you know the answer , you just don't know ya know it lol

Thats a brain teaser... now I got a headache

[beltstowing]

@More350Power tell me about it lol

[thedriver02]

hmm, different axles, different sized housings with different No. of teeth on the ring gear means +/- few hundredths is more or less the same ratio and economically close enough anyways lol That would be my guess. Now if it was the same axle front to back, I would think they would be bang on the same.

[beltstowing]

@thedriver02 it has to do with the ring gear being smaller in the dana 44 along with the spider gears smaller too , the final drive at the wheel is 100% exactly the same lol it's an illusion of sorts , they later lied about the ratios to make them match so to speak lol

[beltstowing]

@Mopardude A+ you got it , I actually never thought of that , till he told me , and I was like ok dumbass you knew that , why didn't you think of that , I have cussed myself all day lol

[kerobinsonii]

@beltstowing I know it's possible, that's the way Ford put them in there. I will check the new one out.

[beltstowing]

@kerobinsonii dana 44hp with 3.54:1 and ford 9 with 3.50:1 , watch the latest vid , they are the exact same , before you say thats not possible , it really is lol

[beltstowing]

@EricTehRedneck if the final ratio was actually different , it's an illusion of sorts , check my latest vid , I explain lol

[beltstowing]

@stevenpturcheck it is a brain teasing illusion , the explanation vid is public now lol
