On the highway, the OD works fine. It turns about 1750 rpms at 66 mph on 235/70/15 tires. 3.73's would be ideal, I think, but your 3.08's will work if used as a 3 speed auto when not on the super slabs.
the problem is most all my driving is under55mph. rarly get on the freeway.
so i guess i'll keep the 350t.h. and save the money! yea! save the money!
thank you all for your repllies! and opionions! great info... dave
