i got the truck back a few days ago, running great and quiet, it has the 273 rear gear ratio with 700r4,tire size is 215x75 r15, still has plenty of pep and shifts into overdrive at about 45 and holds at highway speeds, even when i drop it to 3rd on highway still quieter than before,will find out gas mileage at next fillup, well satisfied, it was a great post for all the info it generated
thanks
stephen
