Back in the market for new tyres and due to load rating, I can't get anything bigger to lower the horrendous gearing on my sprinter.
I don't carry much weight and it's mostly highway cruising but at 3500rpm at just 60mph (approx, we run in Klms in oz) it's revving way too hard for my liking and has done for last 3yrs that I've had it but I am sick of it, love the van but sick of the bloody,high revs.
So, can I swap the differential for a taller geared one as first is next to useless and 5th not long enough....
Any help on this before I end up selling it as,I can't take it any more.
I asked the local Merc van place,but the mechanic couldn't have given a ****.
Please help me and my poor van !
