I'm in the process of having my side loader rebuilt, and was wondering if anyone has thoughts on whether 3.64 is the right ratio for an S38 coupled to a 265/CR? I've got a 3.45 right now and it seems a bit low (i.e., every time I drive the car at its comfortable engine speed in top gear on the highway, I am the fastest car).
If it helps, I do a mix of city and side road driving, although I'd like to retain the option to drive US1 down to LA and the like.
As an aside, I've located a shop near LA that has a good reputation for rebuilding side loader diffs using more modern parts - the cost to do a pretty nice build seems very reasonable. Happy to share if anyone is interested.
