who else besides me can actually use 5th gear on a 22re??
well, i think im one of the few that can use 5th gear in my 88 p/u with a 22re. i can accelerate in 5th up to about 90. (on flat ground). i still have the 4th gear hill climb, but depending on the hill, i can shift into 5th and it will still accellerate. lets see who else can do this...

My 5th gear actually gets me up some hills on some days.
Once I get under 60mph in 5th I gotta shift or it just keeps losing speed.
I guess my speedos not right though unless my truck came with 31's stock...

5th shouldn't be an issue with it geared properly. 31s should be 4.56s, 33s should be 4.88s, 35+ should be 5.29s.
I set my cruise control at 75mph in 5th pulling my camping trailer without any issues.

5th gear's alright here in the flats for me, will pull at 50mph+, although if she sees a hill in the distance - to 4th she goes. (85 4rnr, 22re, 31x10.50, 4.10s)

I can get 4200 RPM in 5th with the 33" BFG A/Ts
I can get to 3600 RPM in 5th on 34x10.50 LTB swampers, it has some left but feels like it wants to shake apart .
4.88s, LCE EFI pro longblock

according to the plate on the side of my door, it came stock with 225/75/15 tires.... when i first got it it had 33" mudders on it, then we changed them to the stock size, then when those wore out got the 31x10.50/15 bfg A/Ts. the BFG A/Ts have performed the best, even better than the 'stock' tires... i can accellerate faster now than i could with the 'stock' size on. weird huh?
