MPH = RPM's
Here are a few shots while running down the interstate in the truck today.
I had to make a trip down to Atlanta to pick up some parts. I ran pretty much around 80 the whole way. Stock 6.0 with 4l80e and 4:10 gears. 29" tall tires

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |

Re: MPH = RPM's
This always throws me....I swear mine turns a slightly higher RPM than everyone else. I have a 4l80e also, 3:73's but a slightly smaller tire, and turns like 300-400rpm higher than you with the 4;10's.
Then again, my lockup converter might be smoked, so it might be the slip during lock.

Re: MPH = RPM's
I have 350/350/4.10 and 30" tires and don't enjoy high speed. I have a 3.73 rear end I have to throw in and sometime it'll get an LS and overdrive tranny. Then again, I don't have a tach so I'm going by ear.
Is your speedometer accurate?

Re: MPH = RPM's
Did you verify that speedo with GPS? its always good to check that.
there are apps on iPhone and Android that you can use right on your phone.

Re: MPH = RPM's
The speedo in the first photo is a GPS speedo.

Re: MPH = RPM's
My 02 Silverado, with 29 " tires will run 65 mph @ 2200, with a 3.73 gear...(speedo reads 70mph, but the thing was not recalibrated, after the gear swap). original gears were 3.42. My old longhorn, same tire size/taller gear, is a tick over the legal limit @ 2200....will cruise all day long @ 100 mph (3100 on the tach? specs in the signature...longhorn
