i have a XH panel van and i was wondering what the diff ratio is as its not used for commercial purposes i was wondering if i could put in a sedan centre to make it more of a highway car..

Both of my XH utes had 3.23:1 rear axles in them. The XR's will probably have a 3.45:1. Some sedans had a 3.0?, but I couldnt tell which ones. The 3.23 works out at approx 2000rpm @ 110-odd k's. I used to get 600ks to a tank on the highway with those gears.....

My EF Gli sedan, has 3.08, and when it was auto and a stocker, it would be pretty much idling at 100kmh, was brilliant of the fuel and gas on long trips, not so much any more

They had a 3.23 LSD, 6cyls had a 3.45. Futuras got a 3.23, as did fairmonts, gli's 3.08. I get 7 odd L/100ks with a manual and 3.45s, sits on about 2200rpm @100ks. Stock EF or worked AU motor, doesnt make a difference on the highway. |

XFs had a 2.92 or a 2.77 in ltd's of the same era.
from eb2 on everything went to 3.23 and xr'6's 3.45 |
