i was thinking 4.56 but speedo is off with 31s like 3 mph at 60 mph so im confused. looks like the last owner had a problem with the 3rd because there was diff oil caked on the 3rd, all over the gas tank and the bed when i bought the truck

When I had my 3.0, I was always around 2500-3200. Cruising between 60-70 I was able to stay at around 2500-2800.

and if you are running 31's, like I was...I found I was about 10% off. So at 60 I was going 66 and so on. Factory speedo was set to the lower stock tire..even though the optional FACTORY package came with 31's. Always found that weird.

no speedo says 60 but im really going about 57. so that means i dont have 4.10s. i must have the big tire package 31s 4.56. lol i should had thought it over before i posted the thread. my dads old truck a 92 with 31s was a dog, but mine rips pretty fast i pass many people on the hwy with ease.
