Your truck sounds awesome man!! I have been trying to decide on 4.56 and 4.88's myself. I'm eventually gonna be running 37's maybe 38's but I'll be running 35's here when I get back from my deployment. That's when I'll be buying my zf6 and putting that in too. But yea I agree you need to be getting that supercharger on asap!!

Well yeah, but I figured we were talking about @60. My rpms at 75 are close to 2200-2300. I dont know what size gear I need, but I am pretty sure mine is a close as it gets. My speedo is only off by like 4mph at 60mph(and thats the worst point).

Well I am not sure. I drove side by side with my buddy in his completely stock chevy 1500 and when he was going 75 my speedo said 78 or so. When he was going 60 my speedo said pretty close to 65 and his 55 was 59 or close on my speedo. We set cruise at the same speed to determine those three different speeds.

I would say that my speedo was about 4mph or so fast

I had the cruise set @ 61-2 and ran around 2050 rpm's this morning
I believe yours would be lower too bc my tires are supposed to be 35's but I think they run small, like 34" maybe.
I think 35" km2 measures 34.8 or something like that

Can't you just GPS it to compare?

That's weird. I always thought speedometers get off by a percent and the faster you go the more incorrect it gets. Idk haaha awell your. Close enough they wouldn't pull you over. I got out of 3 tickets this summer bc off the tire/gears throwing the speedo off haha

thanks offroad! thats alot more reasonable rpm's.

i also agree with what you said about the mph being off by a certain %. it should get less accurate as you increase speed.

Just verbal warnings, and I actually had a 4th one bc I have my driving lights relayed in with my fogs and I got pulled over for having them all on that was kinda bs but he let me go too 2 of them were the same cop too. I think he liked me.
