Hello Ranger rangers, I am in the process of building a monster and need some suggestions. Im working with a 94 4L (soon to be a 4.3) gonna use everything Tom Morana makes for the ohv. The expected output is~ 450 ft lbs and im going to probably use a tremec viper 6 speed with a first gear ratio of 2.97:1 I'd like to use the atlas 4 speed with a lowest range of 10.39:1 with 3.73 R&P so the final torque on the front axle in lowest range in first will be 23,309 ft lbs at 90% efficiency. A bit much for the stock d35 w/ 27 splines, no? Anyway what I want to do is keep the TTB IFS system as this gives the ranger its unique style, but need the information of someone that can make a 31 or 35 spline D35 3rd member. Or another idea that would work RELIABLY. I called Spicer and they had no ****ing idea how much torque stock can handle. I may just need to ditch the TTB IFS and swap in a solid D44 ultimate or maybe a D60 ultimate. I only want replies that contain solutions, not problems. If your solution is to swap in a solid front end please don't even reply that is the last resort not the first choice I really want to keep the TTB. Thanks TRS community.
