710 vs. 712 transmission
710 vs. 712 transmission
Why is the maximum shifting speed for each gear different for both models? Is the transmission different?

No, it is in the transfer case gearing, and before you ask, no the gears can't be swapped. But you can put a 710 transfer case in a 712. Off side is you loose some of the low rpm torque due to gearing, but you gain top speed to 65-70mph. Just remember though, the faster you go, the faster all the reduction gears are spinning increasing wear and shortening useful part life.
That said, the swap works best with lighter trucks(soft tops)
