Message: [QUOTE="Mr. Clean, post: 481488, member: 25774"] NVR FNSH you are right about the engine speed. I am doing 2000 at about 63 and 2500 at about 77. I only drive at 62 to keep the mileage at about 16.5 . I want the ability to go fast when traffic permits without screaming the engine. I will not pull any load most of the time. About six times a year I will pull a tractor, two horses or 75 bales of hay. I did this with my F-150,300straight six with a ridiculous gear of about 250 and no granny low! It was just hard to get going and to pull long steep hills. Therefore I will have no big problems with this truck either. By the way gang, I found out a 308 is the only ratio available below 355. I ordered it and it should be installed in about a week. I'll give you my impressions then. Thanks for the input [/QUOTE]
