So if my xfer case is 2.48:1 in low range and my doubler is 2.48:1 and my gears are 4:56.

How do I figure the total ground ratio? is it (2.48 X 2.48) x (56/4)

Which is 86.1056:1 ?

Oh that day my algebra teacher warned me about has arrived.

Almost. Your gears are 4.56, not 4:56, it is actually 4.56:1

But you had the right idea:
2.48 x 2.48 x 4.56 x 1st gear ratio = your crawl ratio.
IIRC 1st on a 5 speed is somewhere around 3.2:1, if it was exactly 3.2 then crawl ratio would equal 89.75 (2.48 x 2.48 x 4.56 x 3.2 = 89.75).
 






Hey Thanks Guys!!!
 






M5OD 1st gear is 3.40:1.

3.40 × 2.48 × 2.48 × 4.56 = 95.3558:1 crawl ratio.
