Borg Warner T5;

[Zimme228]

What should be the top speed for a 230 - T5 combination? My truck came with a 3 on the tree, and to get overdrive, I adapted a Borg Warner T5 five-speed into the drive-line.

I am unsure about the rear-end gearing ratio, but it did come with a dealer tow-bumper, and somewhere along the line, picked up a posi-track. Still, if my truck had particularly low gearing, it should start rolling in first even at an idle, right?

I anticipated that it would start rolling with little effort, but actually I really have to give it the gas in first to get going.

I also expected to reach a top-end of around 70 mph, but from listening to the engine, I felt I was revved up enough already at 60 mph.

Thoughts / Comments?

Thank you. Have a good day.
