GREETINGS FELLOW MOPAR DUDES!

        I AM IN THE PROCESS OF ORDERING A 1997 DAKOTA AND I HAVE A
QUESTION. I HAVE ALREADY SELECTED A STANDARD CAB 4X2 SPORT MODEL WITH A
V-8/AUTO TRANNY COMBINATION, BUT I AM UNSURE WHAT THE OVERDRIVE RATIO
IS. I AM ASSUMING IT IS FAIRLY CLOSE TO THAT OF THE STANDARD
TRANSMISSION. HOW MANY RPM'S DOES A DAKOTA WITH 3.90 GEARS, 5.2L ENGINE,
AN AUTO TRANNY AND STANDARD TIRES PUSH DOING ABOUT 65MPH? THIS WILL HELP
ME DETERMINE WHETHER I SHOULD GO WITH 3.55 OR 3.90 GEARS (I'LL NEED TO
DO SOME HIGHWAY DRIVING). ANY INFO YOU GUYS HAVE WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS
IN ADVANCE!
