Need opinions on differential brands/ratios - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need to swap the factory 4.57 posi out of my 67 1/2 ton. I am reving 4,000 at 60mph!

I am thinking of going with 3.42 auburn posi diff. What do you guys think of this set up.

I have a TH350 tranny, my tire size is a 255/60/15 and measures about 26" in height. What kind of rpm would I be turning with the 3.42 at 60mph.

Thanks for the opinions, in advance.

I don't like the Auburn, it is a disposable unit when worn out. I would go with the Eaton. Randy's Ring & Pinion for less than $350. 3.42 would be good.
