Hello,
I'm slowly coming along with my project, but in the near future I have to decide which rear axle ratio will be installed.
My Setup: 31ft Airstream 310 Motorhome Max. 14500lb., Dana 70HD Axle, 7.3idi with Hypermaxx turbo. (Rebuilt is planned, I will consult the forum, right now the plan is do go to the stage 1 injectors, stage 1 cam from r&d, 90ccm injector pump), and an Allison 1000 6 speed transmission.
Goal: don't create a traffic jam, doesn't matter where I drive but be able to cruise with good fuel economy and low noise.
I have attached an excel file with the gear rpm calculation. I still would think a 1:3.54 rear axle is possible. The maximum torque will be around 1300-1400rpm. In my understanding torque is good to hold the speed?
