Bern, I have a 5000 that 4th gear in low range and 5th gear in high are the same gear. While the speed tag is almost worn off, it shows them being the same speed. Have any idea why they did this?
You must have a very early 5000. Why Ford did this I have not a clue. Seems a little deceptive to me. Ford basically did the same thing with gears 2 & 3 on the SOS transmissions. Although they are slightly different in actual ratios, you don't notice it when upshifting.
