When I entered 315/75 into the page it showed 34.7" or something like that.What's the actual height of your tires? I've always been a big fan of this site... http://www.4lo.com/calc/gearratio.php
Did some numbers input on an online gear ratio site. If I enter in the drivetrain I have it shows my RPMs at 70 should be around 1900. I'm wondering if my Dakota Digital is not calibrated correctly. Here's the site I used.

Cim has a dakota digital reading off the alternator I believe.Do you have yours reading off the flywheel? I think you have to input the number of teeth in a full rotation or something like that.

Speedo has been checked with GPS. It feels like it's running good at 70 so my guess it's a tad off.Have you verified your speedometer with GPS also?
That could be a possibility. I believe they went through a few before the right combo was found. I need to dig out the Dakota Digital and read the instructions.I wonder if the size of the pulley affects it. I had to increase my pulley size to get better belt wrap, so maybe they did the same during the install.
Correct.Cim has a dakota digital reading off the alternator I believe.

As an example, my tach was reading about 2500 cruising at 70mph. If I apply the correction (0.75) that results in 1875 RPMs, a much more reasonable number.
...I cruise at 70 MPH (per GPS) at about 1900 RPM and it hums along all day and get about 20MPG.
My calculations show that I should be at about 2000 RPM at 75 MPH.
Mark's high gear is .92:1 so 8% reduction. Other than your 37s yours is the exact combo so I may fiddle with the DD and see if I can't match your RPMs.Stock axle gears, I have the Marks +3% OD in the TC I think (cant remember the ratio, same as Cimarron), 37" tires.
My truck has a 4BT, not a 6, just for reference.

I took the 34.8 off Goodyears website. I won't be able to get it exact but within 5% at 1900 is +/- 95 so thats good enough for me. Right now I seem to be off around 15%I'd physically measure the tire of I were you. My 35's (315-70 17) are actually right at 34in diameter.
