Default Re: 30 PU max safe driving speed

I bought a Borg Warner O/D with a complete differential and torque tube, even had near new brake shoes. I put it in my coupe with 3:78 gears but it would be a much better performer with 4:11's. Plans are to change that as I already have all the gears and bearings. IF, just if, you have thoughts of putting in an OD, talk to Mitchell's about getting them to make a 33% box for you and keep the 4:11, the son told me that is the best combo going for all around use. Wish I had known that before I bought the 26%, but it works real well also though I would like a lower ratio when pulling the Sierra Nevada's. Great in the low hills around the SF Bay Area.
