Well gentlemen I scratched around on this third member and housing for any kind of numbers but the ID plates are gone as well as the ID plate for the 6V92T, no spec plate anywhere on this drive unit. Now I will call Gillig with the VIN# maybe they can give me a line sheet with the factory specs it came with when it was new, good luck with that. Anybody know someone at Gillig that will honestly help me with this. I called them about this door selector valve and all I got was we'll get back with you, that's been over 2 weeks ago. >:(

I finally got the line sheet from Gillig
Engine-6V92TA (253hp)
Trans-HT748
Rear differential 59743 w/4.56 ratio
I think my best bet is gear ratio change 4.56 is city gears of course. I was thinking maybe a 3.77 ratio would get me the speed as well as the possible 1 or 2 mpg on the highway.
