Re: 5-speed "deep thoughts..."
With that tall 3.08 gear, and in 5th gear, your little 250 just isn't producing enough torque to accelerate. You would be better off with a 3.73 rear gear. All too many guys think they need a tall rear gear in addition to a OD trans. That combo typically doesn't work out. You need to have your engine to be in it's powerband at your typical cruise speed. It is also more efficient there.
