This is a big topic for so many bolters who want to keep their rigs as original as possible. I really do not like the idea of swapping the tranny through rear end mainly because my tranny, tube and rear have given me no trouble at all. Yes I can't flow down the highway like all the other vehicles but maybe that's going to be the price I need to accept to stay as original as possible.
The only other way is to do a Patricks rear gear swap from 4:11's to 3:55. By the time you finish spending $400 for the gears and $200 for new bearings, one might question just how much would switching to an open line with new tranny cost ?
Argh
