    I have 5:38's with the o.d. and 34" tires. At 70 I tach about 2800. Without the o.d. it's closer to 3300-3500 RPM. Not sure though as I have not run the hwy. without the overdrive engaged.

    One thing to remember on these calculatoions is that 33" tires are normally about 32". Use the real size of a 33" or 31" or whatever tire, thus giving the true spped, instead of a slightly hire MPH than true.

    I agree Doug. My calculations are based on actually driving it, and looking at the tach and speedo. I figure my 34's are really about 33" tall.
