This is yet another gearing thread. But I think I want something different. I want info on your rig. Even if you are still running stock gears and tires I want to hear from you. If you have upgraded I want to hear from you also. This is what I am looking for.......
1 - What gear ratio are you running?
2 - What tire size & Brand are you running?
3 - At 70 mph what RPM is your engine turning?
4 - Are you using the AEV PROCAL or Superchips Flashpaq?
5 - On the road what is your opinion of the performance?
6 - Off road what is your opinion of the performance?
7 - If your fairy god mother came to you and said you will get any tire/gear package you want would you change and to what?

1. 3.21 - 6 speed
2. 285/70/17 duratracs
3. ~1900 RPM in 6th... ~2400 in 5th
4. no... the speed calibration is not far off with these tires... .5 to 1 mph at 70
5. good. would like a little more gear for the hills. usually have to drop to 5th depending on the hill
6. not enough gear for my taste. tires work excellent for the crawling and desert running that I do
7. 35's with 4.10's and a Rubi 4:1 case
I get 14 - 15 mpg around town and 19 - 21 on the highway

1 - What gear ratio are you running?
4.11, 3.6 engine, Automatic trans.
2 - What tire size & Brand are you running?
Kelly TSR 315/70R17
3 - At 70 mph what RPM is your engine turning?
Approx. 2450
4 - Are you using the AEV PROCAL or Superchips Flashpaq?
Superchips Flashcal
5 - On the road what is your opinion of the performance?
I think it feels like OEM, not revving to high, nor being bogged down. Small inclines seem ok, while hills it will downshift 1 gear, like I would expect.
6 - Off road what is your opinion of the performance?
Haven't had this combination off road yet.
7 - If your fairy god mother came to you and said you will get any tire/gear package you want would you change and to what?
I am happy with this tire size and gear combination. Original was 3.73, and tried 4.56 (long story) but came back to 4.11 which feels right.
