Warren,

Have no idea what the ratio is...but yes it does need to go on a diet and I have finally found someone who can do just that by stripping it of a few extra kilos of unwanted weight.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :o :o :o :o :o :o

Regards,

Maureen


Hi Mureen

If you are using an a frame I would think the van should tow it, the holden 6 and trimatic is a pretty good combo, do you know what ratio your diff is, that has an effect on preformance and cruising speed, and when bedfords came out they had a ration of 4:00 to 1 and they would only get up to bout 80kph. Thats why you see talk of "Highway Diffs"  they tend to have ratios between 3.5 to 2.87 for improved top speed cruising.

With its weight near 3 tonnes thats preety heavy, Id be looking to put the van on a diet or possibly go for a later model 5 speed auto (with overdrive) to better use the power of the engine.

Warren
