3.07 to 2.47 gear swap 300sd 100/k

its now a week since the swap here are some of the differences.

--smoother shifts ...no more surges
--drop of 700 rpm at 75 mph
--cruising at 75 with engine purring at apprx 2600
--first tank at 34 mpg up from 29( note the 29 was with ugly motor noise entering cabin.)
--no real big time loss in pick up only half a step slower, but still rocks at highway passing speeds.
--discovered that i had wind noise at 75 for the first time.

rock on diesel geek he did original swap
