Re: Rear End

I would love an overdrive unit, but that's way out of my price range. I would think I could get rearend changed for a lot less than an overdrive would cost. I'm guessing I could get the rearend and the flatbed for what the overdrive would cost.

Johndeerebones, how many rpm are you running at 70 mph?

You are right depending on how good you are at dealing.

My speedo is a few percent off, but at 770 in OD I am running a little over 2000 rpm's.

For a comparison on a hard acceleration run I can run 65 in third before the rpms scare me, but I'm pretty brave on the tach [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

Oh, I also run 265-75 tires, so a little taller than stock..

I get my best mileage at 65 and down, but you get run over on the highway around here at that.
