Questions.....Newbie
Todd,
I bought Tom’s ’78 FC with the 4.88 gearset.
Since I have not driven my coach very much yet and I don’t have
experience with the 5.29 gear set, I can’t say much except that I have towed
my 1995 Jeep up some steep hills and I always get to the top. I would
probably have to set up a drag race with someone to really figure out the
difference in performance. I think the reality is that there is not that
much of a difference in performance, but the lower engine RPM’s when
cruising should make for a quieter and more economical experience.

Todd,

I previously owned a 1978 NA. I had the rear gears changed to 4:88
from 5:29. I don't remember why I didn't go to 4:63, but I was very
happy with the change, money well spent IMHO. Gardner owns that coach
now, maybe he'll pipe in.
