Re: Alright chummins or stick with chevy???

Has anyone used gear ratio calculators? According to what I've calculated the 6bt should be cruised around 1800 rpm's. With the NV4500 5th gear ratio is at .75 To be able to do around 73- 75 mph I would need 2.59 gears in the rear end. I figured the tire size to be around 27 inches? the truck is a 2wd and will be lowered so obviously this is all an educated guess!! Do you think 2.59 gears would hold up to the torque? I would really like to do this once, as im not a rich man! Thanks for any help...
