12 May Rancho 002/4.57 Freeway Flyer
The 68-74 bus was initially developed as more of a utility machine than an open road runner and as such these extremely popular transporters came from the factory with a 002 transaxle fit with 5.38 ring and pinion. Not bad for zipping around town but open road cruising at freeway speeds with a 5.38 does not make for a happy power plant. Rancho Performance Transaxles now offers a 4.57 R&P Freeway Flyer upgrade for enthusiasts yearning for additional MPH capability.
Rancho’s Freeway Flyer configuration incorporates a rugged, U.S. made Weddle 4.57 ring and pinion. The new R&P provides exceptional strength and durability while allowing freeway cruising without running your engine on the edge. These completely remanufactured 002 transaxles are fit with the finest OEM and aftermarket components and carry a 2 year, unlimited mileage warrantee, when used in stock applications. Retail for the Rancho Freeway Flyer 002 box is $1049.00 exchange. For complete details contact Rancho direct at 714-680-6737, toll free 800-304-8726.
