Raptor661 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Anyone know where I can get the formula to figure gearing/tire sizes? I seen one awhile back that would tell you how to figure your engine rpm's @ xxx speed using xxx tire size and ratio. Now I cant find it. I bought a set of gears for my truck this weekend but want to make sure they arent too low before I install them. Quote

Noozeyeguy Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Try here. What ratio gears, and what size tires? Quote
Raptor661 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 Try here. What ratio gears, and what size tires? I found some charts but they are incorrect. Its a 96 with the stock 3.42 gears. Im running 33 inch tires and I have 4.11 gears (not installed). I would like to keep the rpms under 2700 @ 70 mph. Stock it runs abuot 2150 rpm's. All the charts and formula's I found say it runs 2400-2500 @ 70 stock That tells me the charts might not be right. The best ive been able to come up with is with is 2588@ 70 mph but I dont know how close thats going to be. Im mainly looking to make sure that these gears are going to be right before I install them. Quote
