Decided to run the HO.
(I have an extra HO drum to drum)
Gear Vendor will assist in my highway mileage ; but probably not enough.
I think there was a 3:90 gear GM offered; or something like that.
Can't recall the 3 series ratio.
Very hard to locate those.

I have a 14 Bolt that I considered using.
3:42 posi in that one.
Just need to move and install spring pads correctly onto it in order to use that one.
I also read somewhere that they make the tires chirp when turning, is this an issue to be concerned with?
