Final drive calculator

Hey guys,

How can I accurately calculate my rpms and final drive?

I want to gear my truck, but want to make sure I put in the right gears and not sacrifice top much too end. Want to see what my rpms would be like around 75 mph.

I have 35's, a 4L80, and 3.73s at the moment and was thinking of swapping to 4.56.

Thoughts and advice?

Google a final drive calculator.

Engine RPM / Engine Speed Calculator

Crawlpedia's RPM and Engine Speed Calculator will find your engine RPM at any speed given your transmission ratio, ring and pinion gear ratios, and vehicle speed.

The 4L80E 4th gear ratio is listed on here as well.

You would be at 2400 rpm at 75 MPH with the 4.56 and 2200 rpm with a 4.10 gear.

Thanks guys.

I wonder if I should stick to 4.10s. i want to be able to go on long trips with the truck. 2400 rpm isn't too high, I guess. What do you guys think?

On the other hand, If I wanted to go with a bigger tire in the future, 4.10's would put me right back where I started.
