got the gears redone is this normal?
I got 456's put in with a eaton on a 8.8 rear end. The rear end is on a 2001 ford ranger edge with a 4.0 motor. I know the spedo is off because when the governer kicks in at 92 i am only going like 83. Also when it says i am going 75 my rpm's are are like 3200. By the way i have an auto matic transmission. I'm wondering if there is a problem or just with that high gears and 35 inch tires thats my max speed. My overdirve on off button will flash after i drive the the truck for about 10 minutes. It was doing this even before i got gears. i was wondering what that was too. any help guys would be greatly appreiciated.

Flashing OD is a transmission problem.
4.56 and 35's with an auto is what I have. What was your original ratio? If it was like 3.73 then you're definitely going to be off quite a bit -- like about the 10% or so you are experiencing.
How do you know what your "real" speed is, and does the 3200 at 75 mean REAL speed or APPARENT speed?

this might have nothing to do with ur problems but i'v found out that the reason my ranger would start to die and then would kinda like a lope? it was cause the check valve on the gas tank was going bad? so we threw the check va;ve outand bent up some hard line and fixed it ... you can also tuine a motor with the hard line now in my fuel cell lol anyway..back to soething that means something to you... 456's with 35's should be good once you get the 35's on there if not i might be missing something?
