So I'm trying to figure out a good gear size for when I ever get to put 33's on my truck and I was looking at this
I have 29 inch tires and 3.55 gears on my truck now and this chart says that in 4th gear I should be turning about 2674 rpm at 65 mph. I was on the interstate the other day and stayed in 4th gear till about 50 mph....and was already turning 3000 rpm! Something doesn't seem right. I don't understand. Is the chart incorrect? I just got the truck a little over a month ago and I don't believe the gears have been changed. If they were judging by this chart I would have probably 4.56 or even higher gears!
If anybody can straighten this out for me I would appreciate it!
