Re: Automotive myths

Mine too, followed closely by CJ-5, though I haven't messed with either in years. Back in the early 80s I worked in a 4 x 4 shop and owned a '79 CJ-5 and worked on a lot of other Jeep models. Back then was the beginning of the tire size growth era and the lift laws that came along in response to it.
It was amazing to see how many guys would run around with 40"-42"-44" tires and stock gearing. After a while of dealing with it, many did learn from those who did figure it out.
Many of the GM guys did the swap as part of the repair from the inevitable Gov-Loc failure.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
