So I got a bunch of junk for sale, one of which is a np208 that I no longer need since I'm using a Ford 60 in my s10's sas.
Guy came thru last night wanting to buy it. I was just sipping on my Miller high life listening to him preach to me the finer points of 4wd, it's lore, and proper procedures, and all this other bs that i have already had experience with or know (well at least some of it, some of it he was just running his mouth, I just wanted money and listened)
I really am not a "believer" in the 4x4 religion, neither do I take it that seriously, neither do I really care about someone's sermons about 4x4.
I just enjoy it as a hobby
I need a "reality check", I could be mistaken in my question I'm asking.
He asks for a rag to wipe the new process factory tag off, I just assumed he didn't know for sure it was a np208.
He's there with his phone in his hand and a flashlight, shining it on the tag, looking at his phone, he's there for a while.
I ask "what are you looking for?"
He replies "the gear ratios don't match"
I ask, what do you mean?
He shows me the numbers in the middle of circular new process tag and says those are what gear ratio low and high range are for the transfer case.... He claimed his for his 89 Suburban had a different high and low range, the numbers didn't match the pic off of the case in his truck and he wasn't sure if mine would work.
Now here's the question:
Aren't all np208's 1:1 high, 2.61:1 low?
I did not think, or was not aware that there was different ratios that came in np208s. Maybe I just haven't paid attention, but as I said, I'm not interested in the finer points of 4x4 religion, in my mind it's "just a np208"
So can someone answer this for me?
Thank you, I need to ease my mind
