Grant Galbraith worked out:
"I also have a T-5 5 speed. 5th gear is .72 to 1 which with a 3.90 rear
gives an effective final ratio of 2.808."
Those are great gears Grant! Late last night my buddy and I worked out
what
the gearing would wind up being starting with the stock 4.57 ratio of the 3/4
ton models. I think we figured the final ratio at 3.69. Can anyone confirm
this? What sort of cruising speed would this work out to assuming standard 15"
truck tires?
What would the T-5 do for the final drive ratio (5.16?) of the 1 ton
models?
Those of you that have T-5s up and running, how do you like them?
