I am running a mild grey with 215/75/14 rear tyers and a 3.36 diff center and it is a great comboStygian wrote:I think Muddy is running a 35/75 cam Trev, so a 3.36 might be a bit tall for a grey that has had its low end torque clobbered. Perhaps try a 3.55? Guess it also depends on what profile tyre you are running.Trev wrote:I would go for a 3.36 center replacement

Re: snowcrest white standard ek wagon_clean up for nats
I ran a 3:36 in a worn grey with 13's to Nowra Nats and it went well. Pulled it out and stuck in a 3:55 cause i started towing a 10' caravan. If you're towing with a stock grey then I'd recommend a 3:55. I recon 3:89's rev engine too hard if you're cruising open road.

Sweet as Muddy, the wagon looks a treat and the Aussie speed gear is cool as...... great job mate, drive the wheels off it and enjoy!!

Re: snowcrest white standard ek wagon_clean up for nats

That should fit Stu. I've got an EJ housing with the 3:36 course spline centre in it.

Re: snowcrest white standard ek wagon_ready for a new dif
Hi Stu, I agree with DR.
Since I pulled out the center to replace it because it was very noisy, now its out there is no way of telling if it was noisy or not, just be careful buying one off ebay.
I have the noisy one here, all teeth are intact so I would imagine all it would need is bearings, you are welcome to get it checked out to see how much it would cost. Might save you buying a dodgy one, Trev

squeezed a run in the wagon over the weekend... with the family for the first time...
had seat belt anchors installed, dropped in the car seats, strapped in the girls.. and off... cruise to torquay

they seemed comfy enough ...

Re: snowcrest white standard ek wagon_cruzin
Looks like the kids had a ball.
Who needs the playground when they can play in dads car.
My 7 year old says she hates mine, boring car stuff!!!
But when she's in there mucking around, you can tell she loves it.

I'd rather drive something made of metal, not plastic!
