Most probably my mistake in that naks didn't say the coolant temp had dropped..that's just me making another assumption😫, and relating the coolant to the mention of a drop in exhaust gas temp...
Still find any drop in running temp odd when adjusting ratios in that way mind, but 20 deg on exhaust temp which can fluctuate wildly is possibly not meaningful..

Finally managed to go for a highway drive after we got back from the holidays, and it is such a pleasure to drive now!

At 120kmh (speedo) it's sitting a tick over 2000rpm, running much easier than before.

EGT is also down about 20C, and oil pressure is down by about 0.2 bar.

All in all, a really nice mod, pity the transfer case didn't die sooner, this would have made a major difference to my fuel consumption over 10 years

Great feedback,

glad you are pleased with the gear set
