Hi,

Has anyone taken the ratio of R&Pinion gears for gas vs. diesel trans and
figured out what size tires would make for the same conversion. Saves re/re
your own 'known' trans and hoping the $300 junkyard special will last. New
tires on 15" rims oughta do it.  Nice to get back the desired 'gearing',
gain some ground clearance, get new tires, keep a good trans, all with
minimal effort. bye, Tim
