At 70mph I'm turning around 2100+rpm with 4.10 gears and 34.5" tires. Ive get a 6 speed though. With stock tires I was around 2500rpm's. Waaay to high. Is your torque converter locking up once you are in high gear? If it's not then that could explain the higher rpm.

Auto trans?? Is it set to take advantage of overdrive or is OD off??

At 70, mine gets about 2,000 rpm with the OD engaged and running 4.10s.

skyjacked84,
sounds like your rebuilt is working properly. i pulled a camper this past weekend and mine was running around the same rpms. i would worry if the tranny is shifting hard or have noises coming from it.
