So let me know if I get this right.
SC + AUTO + 35s + 4.10 gearing = highway passing in 4rd gear?
SC + AUTO + 35s + 4.56 gearing = highway passing in 3rd gear?
Now, this all brings further questioning
1. Is your speedo calibrated perfectly?
2. What is the RPM you cruise at if doing 80mph?
baumann, Ive read your posts a bunch of times now trying to get clear about how to help the OP in this thread. Since you have the auto with the mag and we dont, your experience above ours in this case because of your AUTO transmission.
Here is what I think about your situation, not Jt1911's.
I think are geared right. 4.10 for 35s with the SC is PERFECT gearing. If you had 4.56, you would feel overgeared. If you have never been overgeared, take it from me. It sucks. Do not feel like if you did it over again, you'd do it different. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I promise, you are on the greener side of the fence. Being overgeared, turns your supercharged truck into a pig on the highway. I dont care how much horsepower you make.
If you had 4.56 with 35s on an Auto, you would be at 2700 RPM at 70 MPH! Your truck would struggle to get to 80, and would be gasping for air there at 3500 RPM. You would almost be forced to go to 37s.
Just my position. take it from a guy who geared twice.
