Dots on the speedo

[adsm08]

I dunno. I've been wondering this for a while too. I figured they weren't shift points since I never shift anywhere near them and if I did I'd be in a gear that is way too high.

just do your research first for sure. i used the motor, trans, t/case, and driveshafts. on the driveshaft you need to find a spare explorer driveshaft and use the front flange on the rear of the driveshaft you will be using. the 8.8 has a wider flange than the 7.5. you'll wanna do this just to get rid of the cv joint style driveshaft if you have it. on the front driveshaft i went from the splined of the b2 to the completely bolt in of the explorer b/c of the swapping of t/cases. i've done this swap and done a 302 swap for a friend and with all the work involved in the other, i think the 4.0 is more practical.. its cheaper and easier. and still plenty of power, don't get me wrong, i'd love to have a 302

and wow, TRS is getting like other off road forums i'm on a lot, always thread hijacking and getting off topic lol. my bad guys..

Good info,I only have 120,500 miles on my B2 now and I am going to keep it. I think the 4.0 is a good choice.

I'm totally making this up here but maybe those dots are the stall points for the trans in each gear? They're spec'ed in the A4LD handbook in the tech library but I dont recall them. Like if it was on a lift and you did the stall test, what the speedo would would read if they werent on the road.
