Who has 5.38's in Colorado?
Anyone with 5.38 Gears/ auto/ 4 door / 35" tires in Colorado???
1) Does the auto hold 3rd gear up I-70 (Vail Pass/ Eisenhower)?
2) Is it actually possible to maintain 65-70 MPH up these passes without being at 5,000 RPM? (without SC/ Hemi
)
I have 4.88's with a CAI and drop to 2nd gear / 5,000 RPM at 65MPH over these passes and don't want my engine to go boom
I'd like to justify another $1500 in gears if 3rd gear "holds" up these passes.
If someone has this set-up I'd be extremely gratefull for feedback!
