For 33s I think most would agree that 3.42 are "OK" for wheeling. The larger issue is when you get out on highway speeds that because of TC lockup they can cause your tranny to overheat.

So with the 3.42 and 33's and do a lot of highway driving you're looking at what? Transfer case and TC failure which leads to transmission failure? Or is it even a 4WD component issue?

Ben how is your build coming by the way? Build thread update soon?

I think James was the one that did the research, something to do with the way the TC locks up it will lead to higher tranny temps which leads to failure. I don't know that there are any documented cases yet of those with 33's and 3.42s having tranny issues. I think Rory had some issues but he actually has 3.73 gears.
If you are already in that situation I would get a scangauge and monitor your tranny temps and keep a good check on your fluid.
