Hi,

Would these be the correct rear axle ratios for the engines used in the
many Wanderlodges?

Wanderlodge FC w/ Ford Super Duty 475 233 hp or 534SD 277 hp: 5.86:1
Wanderlodge FC w/ Cat 3208 210 hp: 5.29:1 (has Allison MT-640
transmission on 1977 models and MT-643 transmission on 1978-82 models)
Wanderlodge FC w/ Cat 3208T 225/250 hp: 4.63:1 (has Allison MT-643
transmission)
Wanderlodge SP w/ Cat 3208ATAAC 300 hp: 5.86:1 (for vehicles equipped
with ZF 5HP-500 transmission)
Wanderlodge SP w/ Cat 3208ATAAC 300 hp: 4.88:1 (for vehicles equipped
with Allison MT-647 or ZF 4HP-500 transmissions)

Wanderlodge PT w/ Detroit Diesel 6V-92TA 330/350 hp or 8V-92TA 475 hp:
3.70:1 (6V-92TA-equipped models used the Allison MT-654CR transmission
while the 8V-92TA equipped models used the Allison HT-741 tranny if
1986-87, or the HT-748 tranny if 1988-89)
Wanderlodge WB w/ Detroit Diesel 6V-92TA 350 hp or 8V-92TA 475/500 hp:
3.70:1 (has Allison HT-755CR transmission)
Wanderlodge WB w/ Detroit Diesel Series 60 470 hp: 5.63:1 (has Allison
HD-4060 transmission)
Wanderlodge BMC w/ Cummins C8.3 300 hp: 6.14:1 (has Allison MD-3060
transmission)
Wanderlodge BMC w/ Cummins M11 400 hp: 5.38:1 (has Allison HD-4060
transmission)

In a word, NO.

There was not just one axle ratio for any given engine/tranny combo.
My 83 PT40 had a 3:73 while my friend's 82 PT40 had a 3:36. He also
did not have 330hp as the 82 came with the red series 6V. You have
other errors in your HP ratings.

Suggest you go to VintageBirds.com and look at the speed to axle ratio
charts and the engine/HP/tranny combos.
