Preparing for rear end change
I want to start preparing to put a wider rear end, so I figured I would explore options of making it a little more highway friendly. My truck has a 250 with a powerglide, 3.73 and 215/75/15 tires. I know there are better transmission options, but I'm not planning on changing it.
From what I can tell, it's turning approx 2940 rpm's at 65 mph. Here's some other combinations (all based on 65 mph) I found that I might consider: 235/75/15 with 3.73 - 2822 rpm's 215/75/15 with 3.42 - 2697 rpm's 235/75/15 with 3.42 - 2587 rpm's 215/75/15 with 3.08 - 2429 rpm's So what I'm looking for is some expert opinions on this subject. I realize my calculations might be off, so please feel free to correct me. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device
