Yeah I'm sort of too scared to get it dyno'd, not sure if I really want to know how low it is in on paper performance for such a big engine. Sort of cool just being in my happy place with it.
Even if I did dyno it I'd probably have to keep the results to myself as if the figures got into the hands of members of another forum who bagged the hell out of me for going this route, they would have a field day.
Re the gearing, it is definitely an interesting beast now. I very much like driving it now compared to the ZD30. I always used to bitch about the gearing between 3rd and 4th. Whilst the gear box gearing has not changed, I definitely do not seem to find the issue any more with the changed diff gearing.
1st gear is only there to start off in for about 2 seconds, and then it is a very leisurely up shift to 5th. It is almost like the truck does not have to prove itself anymore... It just goes..
yet to tow the camper yet... Will have a crack at this next weekend.
