97 f450 gearing
Alright so I just bought a 97 f450 stake body 5spd and the gearing sucks. I mainly use the truck for hauling materials (dirt,mulch,sand,stone,pavers) and occasionally tow a small landscaping trailer or mini excavator/skid steer. If I'm going down the highway at 60mph, it's running at 2800rpms. The truck is drivin on the highway a lot and the fuel mileage is absolute poop. I don't tow a bunch of weight enough to make that a huge factor. I just need better mpg's around town and highway. Any idea of what gears I should run?
