Nice truck and good video and, yes, a solid shout out to Nakman. One thing, 62 gearing is 4.11 vs the 80’s 4.10 and not interchangeable.
4.10 vs 4.11 is so small that you'll never notice.
I've known guys that run a 5.29 in a Toyota axle and 5.38 in a Dana 44 with no issues. So long as your with in a few percentage points you're good.
Yeah, 1/411=0.24%, easily a smaller amount than the difference in tire diameters due to uneven wear.
I'm not sure I understand your arithmetic: 0.24% of 360° is 0.88°.Yeeep.
The .01 of a rotation difference = 3.6deg, while not OCD friendly it is definitely compatible.
Looks like I’m wrong on this so I will just shut up now.My original comment about incompatibility was directed at the fact that the gear sets won’t interchange from a 60 series to an 80 housing and vice versa. At least I think that’s a fact.

Anyway, when I broke both the pinion on the rear and the carrier in the front of my HZJ75 at CM2002, I repaired with a reverse high pinion 8" 3rd out of an 80 4:10 in the front while I put an old standard 9.5" 4:11 out of a 40 in the rear, and it was impossible to tell any difference driving like that for years afterward.
It’s OK Steve. I’m OCD enough about it that I have put a 4.11 gear set into an 80 series E-Locker because while it’s not MUCH difference, I can’t stand the idea of the small difference binding if I’m driving in 4WD at highway speeds.Looks like I’m wrong on this so I will just shut up now.
Thanks, Dan. At the risk of making even more obvious my lack of technical knowledge I’ll throw this out there: with the 80 viscous coupling in the t-case I can see a little bit of numerical difference having no consequence on long term gear life. With the 60 t-case not having any viscous softening when operating the front axle a little bind seems inevitable when on hard surfaces. Whatever.It’s OK Steve.

I’ve also considered swapping it back to the 4.10, and putting another 4.10 in because I know the 10/41 gear set is stronger. 🤣🤣

Still the same motor from the original swap? Thats neat. Fun to watch the interview nice work
