Thats pretty handy that you worked out the rev differences in ratios mate.
Seeing as though its only 150 to 200 revs difference between the 3.23 and 3.45 I reckon Ill through the 3.45 in the ute and see how it goes.
That amount of revs aint going to make a huge difference between the diffs for me , and if it is an issue well a 3.23 is also going to be a bit high to live with , might have to look at something like a 3.08.
Whilst I thank you I also curse you as you have made my brain click into gear and start thinking............. :D

Not a problem mate. Giving it a try is the only sure way for you to establish if it is what you want.

Cheers

Today was such a fabulous Sunny Mid Winter day here in Sydney, that we decided to go for a drive, have a bite to eat in the park and play with the dogs.

I thought that some pics of the Wagon being used for what it was bought for would be appropriate.

And a couple of pics of the dogs playing.

We had a great day out, and best of all the Wagon performed flawlessly. No knocking from the crank on the sump, YAY, and the new LPG setup is working like it should.

With the BBM, the LPG setup now goes as good as it used to go on petrol with the Log mainifold. And, I am yet to put the LPG ECU back in. Very happy so far.

Cheers
BenJ

Yeah- I know you bloody did Mr Montman... Your engine bay photos were what started me on the whole polishing track. Spent three frustrating hours on the rocker cover and another half hour on the BBM. Looked at rocker cover, looked at the BBM, looked at rocker cover, looked at BBM, shook head, threw arms in the air and took the whole lot to the local sand blaster instead!
:lol:
Love the polished BBM's and all that, just don't think I'll ever own one :)

The BBM is letting the bling down Benj. A can of that "brushed alloy" paint would fix it!!!
