What RPM....

Ok so I just got my transmission rebuilt to a heavy duty setup and I also redid my rear-end and went from 3.55 to 4.56 gears. The RPM's have risen slightly and I was wondering what everyone was running as far as gears and tires. What are your RPM's at around 70mph.

Did you get your speedo re-calibrated?

You changed gears DRASTICALLY, so your shift points, and speedometer are BOTH off.

So are the miles you put on the truck


EDIT: pretty much everything that has to do with the speedo is off..

Gas mileage,speedo,shift points


your rpms are right, just have nothing to do with anything else, just redline..lol
