No i sure didnt. THe speedometer is about 10mph fast due to the wrong size tires on the rear. I looked up the gear ratio one time and i think it was 456 but i could be wrong. Been awhile since i looked at it. I know its rated to 10k lbs. I dont have a tach yet so i did not track the rpm's yet either. I do know it makes a whole lot of difference in rpm when the OD kicks in. I will check all these things after i get my new tires and get the carb rebuilt and other minor things straightened out. Oh and get a tach.
