    M 1028 gear ratio

    From what my supplier has told me the highest ratio common to both the 14 bolt and the dana 60 is 3.73. I will have to check other places to see if they are in error. Currently i am leaning towards a 700r4 trans. I would like to cruise at 2000-2300 rpm at 65 mph

    I am looking to make my new M1028 more driveable for expressway driving. I looked into changeing the gear ratios but availble combonations are not attractive, so moving on to other options would be either changeing wheels and tires and or upgradeing to an overdrive transmission.
