My next big project on my 91' Bronco is to re-gear the axles to squeeze a bit more MPGs out of it. I'm currently getting 11-13 MPG, depending on my driving needs, highway vs. city. I believe it has the stock 3.56 gears in the 8.8 and the equivalent in the Dana 44 TTB, but I'll double check that in the morning. Anyways, assuming I'm right about that, I'm thinking I can get away with a swap to 3.31's without loosing much power and gaining some gas mileage. I also plan on throwing 33" tires on when my 31's wear out, so that will improve it even more.
My only real concern is gearing so high that I loose all the torque I've got. I do still want to take it off-roading sometime. Am I worrying too much or should I rethink my options?
E4OD transmission with BW 1356 t-case, 31" tires and 5.0 (302) engine.
