Default Question to folks with 5.2L and 4.11 gears

OK, to you folks with the 5.2L running 4.11 gears... how many RPM's are you seeing with O/D on going 70 MPH on the highway?

Thanks.

With stock tires you should see about a 300 rpm increase at 70mph compared to 3.55's. It doesn't make a difference what engine you're running as it does final drive ratio, which factors in road speed, tire size, transmission ratio, transfer case ratio, and axle ratio. Here's a calculator you can plug some numbers into: http://www.4lo.com/4LoCalc.htm
