I had a W-500 (361, 5-speed direct) that I wanted to operate at highway speeds - at least occasionally. The problem with changing gear ratios is that front diff.

I could not find a gearset other than 6.8 that would fit the military housing. The answer is to mount an overdrive aft of the transfer case, but finding a small unit to fit there is another challenge. most of the aux. transmissions around are made for class 8 trucks and are too large.

In sum, if you want a faster W-500/600, it's going to cost some major $...
