Don't forget you need the rpm at top torque not at top hp!

63mph seems to be very high- do you have already bigger tires on?

guessing my rpm by exhaust tone is my super scientific way of knowing how fast the motor is going. i deduced 1800rpm is about right at 63mph. anyone with a 5speed getrag and 235/85 16's verify?

i'm to lasy to pull stuff apart and check gearing.. and the speedo being off.... idk why

If you use your truck for plowing i wouldnt recomend a super single...it spreads the weight of the truck out too much and doesnt let the tread dig down to the hard stuff it just lets the truck sit on top of the snow, semi's equipped with these suck if they get into any type of mud, wet grass, etc because of how much it spreads out the weight of 10 ton truck think about what it would do with a 3.5 ton truck...Just my 2 cents
