there was a 2.41 built for a 42 housing ...way-back-when.
First i've heard ov this...??? I've read stacks... hundreds and hundreds ov Mopar mags and browsed years ov Moparts, never heard ov that. Anyone else confirm...??? I suppose it'd be easier to find a cheap 426 Hemi than one ov these gearsets though...
As for the rest ov this thread... Here i am thinking 'wow... three pages ov info...' Nope, just that stupid argument again. Rest it.
I guess they exist... the big case 2.76 sure grips... I'd sure like to find one. I was gonna stuff some 2.76 gears into my 3.23 489 case if it came down to it, but that car sold.

2.76 ratio: "high" speed gear
4.88 ratio: "low" speed gear
Transmission: "low gear" first gear
Transmission: "high gear" overdrive
Transfer case: "low range, compound low" low speed
Transfer case: "high range" high speed
This is the way I learned it 50+ years ago. It has held true all these years

Not one of you guys explained the "gear" thing correct !!!  My take on it but  Ratio is comparing one number to another . So if you have 4.11 gears .....they are low gears but high ratio (relatively speaking) If you have 2.76s , you have high gears and low ratio. Why???? Because when you say you have 4.11 gears it means 4;11 to 1 or for every time your axle turns once your drive shaft turns 4:11 times........ If you have 2:76s .... axle turns once and drive shaft turns 2:76 times Conclusion : Low gears = high ratio High gears = low ratio

The ratio thing just confuses people. All you need to know;
2.41's = high gears = tall gears.
3.91's = low gears = short gears

Ahhh DP .... now WE should take your word on this ? ... and on your second post ADMITTING confusion ..... and you being from B C ?
Being Confused ! .... 
I  to DD's terminology .... a 2.76 gear is a HIGH SPEED gear.
Now ...BACK IN yurr closet !
