Fat 65L 03-20-2002, 01:17 AM G'day all, Just wondering if anyone has come accross or know of reduction gears for a Dana 20, Runnign it behind a 727 and she just aint low enough. Gears are at 4.88's with 38's Thanks Rhino TxScout 03-20-2002, 06:16 AM There's several things you can do. Get Dana 18/20 gears from an early bronco. Those are about 2.5 or so to 1. You can also get a 3.15:1 set from tera, but those run about $700-$800. try looking here: http://www.tmcom.com/~tsm1/scout/faq/lowerdana20.html http://www.teraflx.com/cf/cat/product.cfm?ID=188 there's probably more options, but those are just the two easiest to find out about... stonpny 03-20-2002, 06:36 AM Try Bc Broncos they have a reduction kit of 4.68 to 1. kinda steep though 1400$ i think. Terras are cheaper but dont offer much of a reduction, I also would recomend a stronger output shaft being as how the dana 20's is week. tsm1mt 03-20-2002, 06:48 AM They key to this post is 727. You're SOL. O'Brien may have something for you, but that's about it. Do a SEARCH in here.. we've discussed this before. :D jdjanda 03-20-2002, 08:58 AM Tera is rumored to now offer the low gears for the Scout II 727/D20 combo. At also Jack O'Brien @ 1 (916) 773-3278 Scout Dude 03-20-2002, 09:13 AM It's not a rumor anymore...I was on their website and they are listed...and my buddy has a test set, so they make them for sure.... 73project 03-20-2002, 09:49 AM What about a np205 from a dodge? Wouldn't it bolt up to the TF727. I was think of something like the ORD doubler kit with the np205-203 behind my TF727. Would this work? Why or why not? ~Erik jdjanda 03-20-2002, 09:53 AM Originally posted by 73project What about a np205 from a dodge? Wouldn't it bolt up to the TF727.

Dudes, did none of you click on the tera link I put up? try it...you'll be amazed... From the link to teraflex provided above Kit, LOW20 for Scouts Autos with Dana20s (3.15:1 low-range ratio) troutbum 03-20-2002, 10:07 AM I looked on the web site for 727/d20 and didn't see it...so I called they list for 966.60 but this company had them for 701.00 it is 3.15:1 ratio. Why not steal the rear output from a waggy run a heep d300 with a 4:1 kit?? Sure the 300 is not as solid as a 203/205 combo, but I would be comfortable with a 345/392 not busting the D300 rear output. you will need a dodge output and then you could run the 203/205 and you will only be adding 150 lbs of dead weight....:rolleyes: Scout Dude 03-20-2002, 10:30 AM Originally posted by 73project What about a np205 from a dodge?

Why or why not? ~Erik Um..the ORD kit requires the 203 to go first and then the 205 to bolt to it...I don't know if a 203 ever came behind a 727...but the 205 from a dodge wouldn't matter... troutbum 03-20-2002, 11:13 AM you are right you need the tranny to go to the 203, dodge 727 to 203 is pretty common. Scouter 03-20-2002, 07:53 PM As mentioned above, use the Wagoneer main shaft and rear housing, put a Klune on it and then a Dodge 205 on the Klune. TxScout 03-20-2002, 08:51 PM Originally posted by Scouter put a Klune on it That's $2K for lower gears....although, if one dropped in on my doorstop, you wouldn't hear me complainig... I like going to a waggy shaft and tailhousing, many more options down the line. Plus heep 300's are way cheaper... | |
