Given that Pumas run higher geared axle diffs anyway, higher gears in the transfer box too would make it awfully overgeared. Darren

I thought they were all still 3.54?

What ratio are Puma axles then?

Ah sorry - my mistake. It's the transfer boxes that run the higher ratios, not the axles. Darren
