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?

about 2300ish (60mph is 2000)

AEV
5 - On the road what is your opinion of the performance?
Flat great. Up steep mountains ok, but not great... downshifting is a little annoying
6 - Off road what is your opinion of the performance?
Still really good. Can idle up most things in 4LO
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?
Well ,that's unrealistic. Otherwise I'd want 40s and dumptruck gears
37s with soemthing in the 5s.


MPG city and highway everyday is 16.5.

Going 55 mph on flat land, I can get 19-20.
Going from MD to MI through PA and OH, going 70-80mph, 16.5-17.

1. 5:13
2. Goodyear MTR/K's 37/12.5/17
dont have 70 mph memorized but, at 60 mph in 6th the tach is just at the top end of the green Eco zone.
3. Procal
4. its great on the road, it tops out just over 80 (you could push it to higher, but 85 is the best
5. off-road it's wonderful, I traded the better off road vs better on road, in favor of off-road

i wouldn't change anything
