If you do go with a NV4500, the early years in Chevy trucks had a lower first gear, I'm wanting to say 6.34:1, which is almost as low as the SM465's granny 1st. Newer ones, and all the Dodge ones, have a higher 1st.[/QUOTE]

Ya my tranny now has a low 1st and a low 2nd and a low 3rd, would love to have a high geared truck to just cruise, i am looking for a t-5 i think but i am doing my homework. alot of info on this little thread.
