so now all of a sudden you change your story to front not being taller. read your posts, you were talking about the front "working" and the rear backlash would be run side of the ring gear, now you see tech adviser and wha bam you all of sudden know what your talking about, the only thing you know is how to give bad info to all the other idiots on here. ppl ask for help not info about what you believe, if they wanted that they would go to a chruch. few posts = many wrenching hours. Honestly how many ppl on here are mechanics and know how to do there own work?!

Whoa, just calm your ass.

I'm a mechanic as well... and no I'm not changing my story around... though I'm pretty sure I wasn't mixing up what I was saying... if you have mixed gears one won't be engaging the ring gear so it won't be on the drive side of teeth... it doesn't matter which gear is off, but if you had it one way as opposed to the other then you'll have it work differently... and if your engine had real horsepower then your sh!t would grenade if you get on it and hook up...

I did give a thumbs up to someone talking about using as a mudder as it would giver certain qualities to his steering... but it's retarded for anyone who hits Ice, hard soil, pavement or rocks to do this as you'll either spin out of control, get a weird back and forth feel while using the accelorator, brake stuff or break more stuff, respectively.

again, there is a reason the factory doesn't have mis matched gears on 4x4s.

and to re address the tire wear issue... tires wear, tires give, so you won't notice anything more than some chirping unless your tires are old and hard, then you'll have crap happening you probably won't like.

Factroy don't mis-match gears you would drag the diff that had the lower gear ratio. I think you was trying to say the load would be on the coast side of the ring gear and pinion the weak side of the gear teeth. I've seen mis-match gear ratio's in big trucks it destroys the lower gear ratio diff and driveline to that diff. Plus chewing the tire tread on that axle.

yes... thank you. my brain knows what I mean, but it can't put it in the right terms for other people to understand me.

Tell me about when I start talking tech with all the terms everyone thinks I'm a-hole. Then when I dumb it up for non-mech it comes out all wrong

yeah... I tried explaining to a guy on how to fill an AC system... he said by pressure, I said when you have a new system you go by weight... he laughed and said I don't know what I'm talking about, weight won't give your system the amount it needs.

pressure is only for topping off the system since it's not accurate enough to use as a fresh fill kinda thing.

I even told him that HVAC guys measure the weight they put into a system when they top it off so they can record how much they put in + get paid for it.... anyways I'm rambling.
