Change Differential Gears to new Ratio?
Has anyone changed the differential gears in their MH to a different ratio? Our 1999 Brave is geared way too low for how we use it and my thought was that I'd get better mileage with a higher ratio. ...

And I would be shocked if some layman's gut feeling turned out to be better overall that all of the mechanical engineers who designed and built the thing to start with.
If you think you MUST.....wait until you need tires anyway and get some slightly taller ones.
If you do the gears you are likely to OVER do it and the result will be worse mileage and engine and transmission strain and a MUCH bigger bill in the end than you bargained for.
I our case even the Cummins engine optimization calculator said we were geared wrong, Spartan said it was spot on. Cummins was right, Spartan was making excuses.
