diesel gear ratios?

[darkshadow]

Dose anyone have a chart or link to a calculator for gear ratios?

Searching doesent help too comon.

was wondering for a 6.2/465/205/35s DD/off road burb (mud and trails)

I would say to run at least 4.10's, should be pretty good all around.

I plan to run 4.56's with 37's and I have 6.2/700r4/241.

I'd say 4.10's if it's mostly for off road. If you're trying for mileage then 3.73's or even 3.42's would be better.

4.10's would put you at 2550 rpm @ 65 mph < ~16 mpg (US gallon)
3.73's would be 2327 rpm @ 65 mph < ~18 mpg (US gallon)
3.42's would be 2134 rpm @ 65 mph < ~20 mpg (US gallon)

Gear calculator

This thing rocks... It'll tell you RPM in all gears at all speeds, both high and low-range.
