Which are your highway rpm at the moment .. ?

~70mph @ 1850rpm. Based on my math, that will go down to ~65mph @ 1850rpm with 35s, which should still be good.

why not 37" all-terrain or street tires?

Go ahead and find some for a 17" rim. I can't.

Besides, I wouldn't mind my EGTs being lower.

I double-checked yesterday and it's actually ~1850rpm at 70mph. In any case, I think I'll be good.

jealous .. I think ( gotta check it again ) I'm over 2500 at that speed .. ( likely in both my diesel Cruisers )

I'm at about 2,100ish at 70. I still need to adjust mine correctly. All the calculators say I should be around 1,900.

 

[The Phoenician]

Around 1900 at 75mph, but could have egt anywhere from 1000 to 1150.

My speed is measured via GPS with the APRS unit in my 2M radio. The factory speedometer is just decoration now

Is there a cable speedometer provision on the Dana 300? I wonder if you could make a custom cable and plastic gear for it to be accurate.

Yes, there is (and it's hooked up). The speedo reads maybe 7% faster than GPS speed. I could make it accurate, but that project hasn't made it far enough up the list of needs.

If you go with an electric aftermarket you can program it to a GPS unit if you choose. Good item if you switch back and forth on tire sizes

Hey Johnny loving the wheels! I had to re center my H2 wheels since I am running the ford axles

They sure do! Loads better than the MTs I had before.
