4.70

[cali4runner]

i would like to see some videos of 4.70 gears in any truck.. i am going to purchase some soon and i want to see the results thanks!!

[jimbo74]

slower, better crawl, could probably find some on youtube.... but i think it would be wierd to see it....

[87hillbillyoter]

i know somewhere on here theres a bunch of videos of marlin "walking the crawler" cant remember where though..

marlin doesnt have 4.70 gears... or he might, but not on a relatively stock setup... his truck is all different

[cali4runner]

sweet as long as i can feel the difference when i install them i will be happy

It was my understanding marlin had 2.28x4.7x4.7 and mike has 2.28x2.28x4.70

I thought they both had 2.28 cases so they could show people the difference between stock case, 4.70, and a dual ultimate.

Hey mike, how about posting a crawl video comparing the 4 different types of dual cases?  Ill shoot the footage for you.

[BigMike]

Actually this is already in the works.

Few may remember this page: http://www.marlincrawler.com/video/index.php

I already have plans to revisit this idea in an updated and far better presentation.

Stay tuned soon,
BigMike

I thought it was the other way around.  But I see mike didnt comment on it.

still don't know how to embed. thanks mike

Sorry 'bout that. Caboose is correct regarding Marlin's truck and my truck's t/case gearing. The disadvantage with Marlin's setup is that he cannot display a stock dual case truck (2.28 x 2.28)

still don't know how to embed.

I thought I had posted a tutorial on this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. It really needs to be explained, so here it is as short and sweet as possible:

1) Go to YouTube and load a video page, such as The Marlin Crawler Commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D8_5lkFPx8
2) Click on the "<Embed>" button below the video and to the right
3) You can choose a size and border color if you wish. The 640-pixel wide option works best displayed on this forum IMHO
4) Right-click on the highlighted text in the text box and copy it to your computer's clipboard (Right Click > Copy)
5) Come back to our forum here, and post a reply to a thread.
    a) If you are using the Quick Reply feature, type this code in:

Code Select Expand

[flash=
    b) If you are using the full reply feature, then click on the Flash icon below the "B" Bold text icon. This will automatically insert the following code:

Code Select Expand

[flash=200,200][/flash]

From here you have to do a little bit of work. You'll need to Right-Click > Past the YouTube code you copied in step (4) into the reply text box here on the forum. The YouTube code will look something like this:

Code Select Expand

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2D8_5lkFPx8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2D8_5lkFPx8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

Now don't get overwhelmed. There is a lot going on here BUT we only need the first two functions. Here is the same code broken down so it's easier to see what is happening:

Code Select Expand

<object width="640" height="385">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2D8_5lkFPx8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b">
</param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
</param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always">
</param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2D8_5lkFPx8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385">
</embed>
</object>

The fun part

First, trim the code so that it looks like this:

Code Select Expand

640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2D8_5lkFPx8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b

Take a look carefully, I removed the first 15 characters and then removed all the characters near and after the "</param>" function. It's really not hard at all and it looks much cleaner at this point.

From here, I remove more code so that it looks like this:

Code Select Expand

640 385 http://www.youtube.com/v/2D8_5lkFPx8&hl=en_US&fs=1?color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b

Explained: The first number, 640, is the number of pixels wide. The 2nd number, 385, is the number of pixels tall. The URL address is the YouTube embeded link to play that specific video

Now simply add in the flash codes found in step 5 so that it looks like this:

Code Select Expand

[flash=640,385]http://www.youtube.com/v/2D8_5lkFPx8&hl=en_US&fs=1?color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b[/flash]

This will result in this:

http://www.youtube.com/v/2D8_5lkFPx8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b

So you only need the width, height, and the contents of the param "value" field, and that's it! Once you do this a couple of times, you'll find quicker ways to modify the text or even re-select only what you need from YouTube before copying the text to your computer's clipboard (in step 4 above).

Also, you can use this same flash embed feature for Photobucket videos, MySpace videos, Facebook videos, and even Flash games. All you need to identify is the width, height, and video URL for the forum here to understand what to play and at what pixel size to display it

For a Facebook example, here I am getting Roasted by Fresno's own Super Lucky Catz:

Original copied Embeded code from Facebook:

Code Select Expand

<object width="400" height="300" ><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/384545678341" /><embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/384545678341" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"></embed></object>

Here is what I trimmed it down to (just the dimensions and the param value):

Code Select Expand

[flash=400,300]http://www.facebook.com/v/384545678341[/flash]

And here is the output on the forum:

wow thanks guys for all those videos!!! i hope to get my kit this friday after work!!

[Early]

-I thought I had posted a tutorial on this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

I usually use google to search here, works a tad better than the local search, And thanks for all of that  .

-All you need to identify is the width, height, and video URL for the forum here to understand what to play and at what pixel size to display it

This would have worked for i  

Thanks Mike!  

[BigMike]

Yeah, the search here is all messed up. I installed Sphinx Search on our server and made a lot of changes to the forum, but then found out its not compatible with this forum version (1.x branch). I had plans to upgrade the forum to the newest version (2.x branch) but there are other more important things for me to do here so the forum has been pushed back a bit. Once I get it updated the search will come alive baby!!

This would have worked for i 

NICE

[kneedownnate]

Once I get it updated the search will come alive baby!!

  how about custom options allowing you to control the relevance, rather than the search feature determining what it feels is more relevant in your search?  Like if you want your search to come up in chronological order, like if searching in the classifieds, where you really don't need posts popping up from 2003 before posts from 2010.

[BigMike]

I am not sure if there are any modules available to allow sorting of search results, but you may specify a minimum post age before placing a search using the Advanced Search form. I definitely think that would be a great feature to have, so I will take a look when the time comes to see about implementing it. Thanks!

[cali4runner]

Thanks Big Mike for this info!!

[littlebroii]

if im right your crawl ratio with one case stock set up should be around 34.8 to 1 with 4.7 case it should be 71.8 to 1 thats a big difference

[BigMike]

Yup, you are pretty much right on

The typical setup would consist of a 3.95:1 1st and a 4.11:1 R&P. This yields a 37.01:1 stock Vs. 76.30:1 Marlin Crawler. So yeah, that is a HUGE difference! A long time ago, before we changed the mindset of what "Slow" is, Peterson Magazine ran an article that said if your Crawl Ratio was over 70:1 then you can pretty much do anything

[littlebroii]

dont the 1980 yotas that have a 4 speed have a 3.73 first gear and have 4.38 in the axle

[cali4runner]

well i finally got my kit today like an hour ago... i drove up to fresno and got them personally lol!!!! i cant wait to install them!!
