Pick up a crank, connecting rods and pistons.
Then you can get an idea how much weight you have moving back and forth in the engine at 4400 RPM.

Higher than 3200 because the pressure tests for fuel are taken at 3300rpm. Atleast 3600rpm as seen here.

Yea it looked like he was shifting at 3500 but the video didn't say what he was running.
I don't think I have had mine that high seldom over 2800 and mostly under 2500.
How are they testing fuel pressure besides on a pump bench.

Was a video posted showing said 4400RPM shifts?

I'd ask for new seals for the glass in the cab and for the doors. A set of Bilsteins front and rear would be great too. Hmmmmmmm...

"HE" is ME. It's my truck in the sig. That was before I put the overdrive on the back of my c-6. And I wasn't shifting, the tranny was. I just held the skinny pedal down and steered. That's what alot of research and pony parts do for ya.

LOL Ok I got it now never owned one of these with 4.56 gears but I love my GV so I'm sure you really do. Just curious what speed are you turning at 2000 rpms and what size tires are you running. I'm thinking about swapping my T19 for a ZF5 and keeping the GV and going to 4.56. I'm thinking this would be perfect for my driving style.

I'm talking about the vid in post 8 that I posted showing going over 3500rpms. Are we all on the same page? STAR? DAVE?

I do love the o/d. If I remember right 1900rpm @ 50mph. I'll check again. I can never keep all the #'s straight. I think at 2400 I'm at 65mph. I'm running the 235's 85s

No Dyoung14 posted a utube vid a while back of 4400 RPM shifts.
Then you could hear the lifters clacking in the video on the last run up to 4400.
Also heard "oh xxxx, what was that" in the backround as grey smoke was noticed in the exhaust.
