Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Hp Drop To Rear Wheels

[Berrigan]

Whats the general opinion of the % loss from flywheel hp to rear wheel hp in our trucks? Im talking about manual trans. And also does a 4wd drop more due to the transfer case.



I was thinkin we would loose about 10% but others think higher%



Thanks for your opinions. Bill

I've heard 20% but don't know of any back to back testing on engine and chassis dynos to verify this percent on our Rams. Theoretically, using overdrive and going through the transfer case would hurt a bit too. . .
