Check this out, was just looking at the speed chart/ rpm set for Chevy trucks. You should have a look at this, VERY cool truck manual!
Anyway, it says basically, with the straight six, 2 ton truck, 4 speed, here are you gears at 4000 rpm (out of a rated MAX 4200 rpm.... wonder what that would sound like!!!)
1st - 8 MPH 2nd - 17 3rd - 35 4th - 61
I am calling bull that my truck would do 61! Would have to have that engine coming apart at the seams!!!! I am looking for a 2 speed rear end pretty badly... Plus, if anything, I just think that it is cool to be shifting.... :)
I figure if I have a 5000 lb tractor on the back (yes osha cops, that is safe/legal..) then a 2 speed would really help things keep on a rollin! Would have to learn how to drive one...
Doubt that it would be as smooth as the 18 spd Eaton in my buddies Kenworth! :)
