Default Guys running 4.11 -- M6 with .50 OD - 275/40/17

What RPM are you turning at 75 mph?

At 75 mph I am turning 2300 rpm in 6th gear.

I ordered 4.11 gearset in a fully assembled rear axle (9 inch) and think I may have gotten 4.56.

2300 at 75 sure does not match the gear calculators for 4.11.

Seems like it should be 2000 rpm.

Yes, been meaning to do that then Memorial Day weekend came around (chore weekend).

Did get it done though and appears it is indeed a 4.11 or 4.10. Drive shaft goes 4 and a bit turns for 1 turn of rear wheel.

Guess it's time to hook up the Scanmaster and see what the RPM's truly are.

Yes, changed it with my Tuner and compared to GPS. Has been accurate.
Sounds like put GPS back in, install Scanmaster and go for a ride.
