Hi Guys,
I need your assistance and advice once again.
I have a 2001 Freightliner FLD with a Cummins ISX motor, and the issues I am having is with the front differential. It originally has a Rockwell 2.64 ratio Differentials (14/37) and a 10 speed Meritor Gearbox.
A few months ago the crown wheel teeth broke and I discovered that it was caused by a faulty bearing in the diff. I got it repaired and it was running well, but now it seems it has the same problem again. I was advised to replace both 2 differentials with the 3.73 ratio diffs (11/41) as there are common here in Africa. My problem is will it not have any affect on the engine and gearbox? Since it was running on a 2.64 ratio and now it will have a 3.73 ratio.
I will appreciate any advice.
