with 4.10s...33s...and a sm465 I'm getting 2004rpm at 48 mph....

sm is 1:1ratio in 4th
nv4500 is .73 in 5th
5.13 would give you that 2500rpm at 48mph....I'd pull cover and count teeth....
once you go to the nv4500 your 48mph rpm will be 1830 and 65 or so will be back at 2500rpm
I'm betting you've got 5.13s
