    Yes, that’s the only way the 3.08 gears make any since to me.

    Oh wow those are some tall gears. Was the 10 a direct or OD? We picked up .5mpg with the 13, went from 1700 at 70 to 1500

    Yes, 295s

    The 10 was an OD too, with 3.73 rears.

    This all started because I was looking for a set of rears with 2.90s or so?

    3.08 is less than 100 rpm difference in 12th than the 3.73 in 10th.

    I took your advice and had er turned up a bit. We’ll see how it actually runs when we get a load on it.

    Ahh that's what i missed Lol, stupid me. Didn't realize you swapped rears. I'm curious what the fuel mileage will be. Is it the 450/1650
