Actually...3.55:1. ;)
I run 4.10's with 32" tires and at 70mph (in 5th gear), I'm turning
about the same.

Subject: DML: Power band
I'm trying to figure out the new gearing for the dakota. I'm running
31's with a 5 speed v6. The current axle ratio is 3:56. I was looking
at 4:11 but the RPM's at 65mph are around 2900. Is that good placement
within the power band? The formula I'm using is: rpm=(mph*gear
ratio*336)/tire size Thanks, Mike I.
