I posed this question to Brian at BTS, so we'll see if he has a chance to respond to my e-mail.
I'm thinking about changing my truck's rear end gear ratio back to 4.10, or maybe somewhere between 3.73 and 4.10, from 3.55. Truck bogs down on hills when loaded, and really saps when accelerating a load after it shifts into 3rd IIRC.
I typically pull in overdrive at 68-73mph. Is there a way to figure out what rear end gear ratio I need to put the engine at its best-towing RPM at that speed? I'll need to account for my tires, too--they're slightly larger than stock.
Once I figure this out, I'll also need to figure out what speedo gear is needed...
Thank you,
Mike
