Not sure why that matters as it's still 1:1 in high gear whether it's a TH400 or TH350.

I mentioned the ratio because now would be an ideal time for Dave to look at what rpm's his truck engine will be turning at cruising speed, in the event he wants or needs to make some proactive changes now (different rear gears or an overdrive transmission).

Always good to know this up front, as opposed to being disappointed once the truck is all put together.

Hope this helps. thumbs_up
