Here's the info I have:
at 1400 RPM I'm running 58mph
at 1450 RPM I'm running 60mph
The truck has 22.5 tires (not lo-pro) & a 10-speed Rockwell Transmission behind a Mack factory engine (unsure of the model of the engine).
Any guess as to what the rear gear ratio is?

Couldn't tell you for sure, but the best way to find out is on a flat surface, have someone else move the truck forward one tire turn and count the driveshaft revolutions. Then you know for sure.
Usually there's a label on the drivers side door opening on the back side telling you what's in the truck. -
I will try to post a link to roadrangers ratio site but you need to know the trans ratio or check the revs in direct http://www.roadranger.com/ecm/groups/public/@pub/@eaton/@roadranger/documents/content/ct_062746.swf

Mack truck with 3.08 gears and a direct drive rockwell I highly doubt it

It figures on the calculator to be 3.98, most likely it's 3.90's. if the tack is off 25 and the speedo is off 1 mile you can miss it a little. RPM X 60 divide by tranny top gear (.73 on most tranny's, except Mack, but you said Rockwell) divide by tire rev's per mile(11R22.5 is 4988) divide by rear end ratio = MPH. If you have 4 of the 5 you can find the other.gummy bear Thanks this.
