It's 2.73 gearing, open. That's pretty high. The truck must be a dog.

Thanks, Sean, for the info. You're right, that is high! Surprisingly, it still takes off pretty well in spite of the high gearing, must be a strong engine. At 75 on the highway, it doesn't sound like it's revved very high (no tack.) The high gearing is good for my work because I travel a bit. Thanks again for the help.
