this seem right for having 4:10s?

my truck is only spinning 2,000 RPM when going 60mph when it's in over drive this seems low to me for having 4:10s. the truck has a 700-R4 and 30x9.5R15 tires

Yeah seems right.

You should be 1929 @ 60 MPH with 4.10:1 and 30" tires.

That is the correct rpm for your set-up. And I'm the guy from Farley's dippy.

Re: this seem right for having 4:10s?

damn , what adifferece a 700r4 makes . 4:10 gears & 2000 RPMS AT 60 MPH.
I have a 350 trans & turn about 2400 rpms with a 3:42 gear . that much difference is amazing to me. I M ENVIOUS.

That is about on it, with my 4:10 and 3 speed with a 29" tire it's like 3500 at 65.
