I have a 99 ranger 4X4 with a 3.0 with 410 gears. I run about 3000 rpm's around 60-65. Is that right. Seems a bit high to me. Thanks for your responses in advance.

Is O/D turned off? Seems about right if you were running with O/D locked out.

One way to find out is tapping the button on the gearshift to see if the RPM's jump up when it's supposed to drop out of OD.

What size tires are on it? (3000 sounds about right if you have 235/75R15s on it).
The 3.0L is most efficient around 2700-3000 RPM (65 MPH). You could maybe put slightly larger tires on it though.

Im running 33x12.50x 15's on it. The overdrive does not kick out if I push the button at speeds of 60-70. I can feel it at 40-55 though.

That motor makes it's power at higher rpms.
If you gear it down too much you will lose milage.

With 33s at 60-70MPH you are actually going much faster than your speedo says...
