I'm about 1875rpm at 60 with 245 45 16 on a stock 99 ram with 5.9L 2wd. I think it used to be less and may have a trans problem, although it shifts fine to me. What are you all at?
maybe it is not locking the converter beacause its 16 degrees out. and I only made a 1/2 hour trip to Wally World. Before when i pressed the brake to take off cruise i could hear it unlocking by the rpms jumping about 50. It didn't do it today.
That time of year for these questions lol, good to bring up that prior post about cold weather tc lock out. Last wintermiddle ofFeb my 99 wouldnt go into od for a full week cause it was too cold. Good week, maybe got 120miles from my 135L tank seeing no overdrive on the highway and city streetseveryone creeping so never out of second gear.
My V10 spins about 1850 at 60mph with stock tires with tc locked. My Indy is about 2100 with same height tires but 392gears
