4:11's are for 62 mph right lane crawlers
with the splits on 15,18's the 3:58's pull real good with 475hp and up
What is the best truck out for an O/O?

all 15 speeds I've driven split the lower ranger. well not exactly... what's the phrasing? it was a double reduction? didn't quite split the gears.
hey! I might not know how to describe it but I can drive it! -

I would not go any higher then 3.58s! You would loose way to much in fuel milage for the little added climbing power.
FriedTater Thanks this. -
It all depends, both my dad and brother are O/O, one has a T660 and loves his truck, it has the 550 in it, looks amazing and pulls great, he goes cross country alot and says best truck he has ever owned. The other one has a freightliner, 515( i believe) motor, i drove that one before and it pulls good, good fuel but the interior is all plastic so going down the road you hear the vibrating plastic pieces and up til about 6 months ago it leaked from where the sleeper is put together by 3 pieces. When I jump into the O/O I'll be looking at KW or Petes. in my opinion best trucks out there and you can get alot of extra chrome for both makes.
