Attention: TDR Forum Junkies OK, after a few days of research I think I have brain damage, no wait, MORE brain damage.
I'm having trouble with this axle ratio gearing. All the info. and conversion charts I have found all give me the same answer. To run 37" tires the axle should be geared at 4. 88. What am I missing?
Check this out:
Sample truck: https://www.turbodieselregister.com/...ad.php?t=150364. Observe the specs in the signature. Convert the tire size, feed it into the MPH to RPM calculator, don't forget to multiply the gear ratio by . 69 (this is the OD ratio of a 518, someone correct this if I'm wrong) and tell me if this is acceptable.

I have to go get a beer and mumble to myself for awhile.
as always , thanks
