Little background first....My duallie is currently equipped with 4.10s. My job requires alot of travel. roughly 700 to 1000 miles weekly. At 70 mph i am bumping 2500 on the tach. I pull my fifth wheel from place to place but am usually there for months or years at a time. Lets say 6000 pds at the most.
My questions are...
1 What is the optimum rpm range for the 7.3 at highway speeds?
2 What gearing would suit me best for mileage and also to take some load off the engine?
I am currently running 245 70 16's.:cursing: But i will be going back to the 285 75 16's very soon.:redspotdance: Any help is appreciated.
