RPM Question

I just recently installed an F5 DP tuner and driving 65mph on the freeway on 80e, I noticed the RPM is at 2000. I dont remember what they were stock but does that seem high? I have a 2000PSD DRW

It depends on your gear ratio and tire size. At 68 I'm @ 2000 rpm. I and running 305/75/16

You may notice higher RPM's at 45, but that is due to a change of trans shift points. I would believe your 4>10 is why you are at 2000 at 65..

Now for more important questions.. How are your cheeks feeling from that Perma grin??

its no mine grins you should ask about my teenagers and their friends. They are all into the tuner scene and would never think an 8000lbs truck can accelerate quicker than most of their hondas at less than half of their RPM range

I do 62 mph with my 4:10 gears at 2,000 rpm. My speed is right with my GPS. I also have factory height tires.
