After hearing and reading about the Prowler Pro Gears, we
decided that now (January 2002) was a good time to add another
mod to 'Pumpkin'. Talked with Daryl, another Las Cruces Prowler
Owner and friend that suggested that the gears would be a good
idea, and who was also interested in doing the same. So we contacted
Dean Prodromides at Prowler
Pro and ordered a set for each of us. After receiving the
gears, we made a date for Saturday to install the gears at the
same time. Since Daryl owns a facility with lifts and has all
the tools available, we jumped at the chance to work together.
By the time we got there Daryl already had the old gears off
his 'CoolCat'. We got to work right away and in no time at all,
our gears were off and the new ones were installed. The wiring
takes a little longer, but not too bad. We took advantage of
having the car on the lift, so pulled off all the wheels and
painted the hubs and calipers, installed
ceramic brake pads and changed to synthetic oil. It was a
long day but the end results were definitely worth it. What a
ride with the new gears ! ! ! Thanks, Dean for making the Gears
and Daryl for helping us with the installation.
Note: Final Drive Ratio: Stock = 2.68, Prowler Pro = 3.42
