What are the 48RE gear ratios ?

[RHoppe]

Was reading the article in TDR Issue # 55, on page 90, and was wondering how this would correspond to the 48RE auto trans. The article talks about what the final drive ratio is with the G56 Trans with 3:73 differential gearing,. . 2. 94 :1. it says it is very similar to the NV5600 with 4:10's, being 2. 99:1 . I have 3:73 gearing with my 48RE auto trans, and was trying to figure out gear ratios for the purpose of 35" tires/mpg, and sweetspot as in article.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,



Randall

1st = 2. 45
2nd = 1. 45
3rd = 1. 00
4th = . 69

Thanks for the replies,..... ratios and charts are just what I was looking for !!!

3:73 gears and 35" tires are not the greatest combo for MPG huh??:-laf



Thanks,
