As mentioned in the title, I'm currently using the Allison 545, and if I remember correctly, my rear end gear is 5.41 or so.
Long highway trips are indeed the goal.
Have you done this conversion?

Question Tire size questions

Hello, all!
I have a 1991 IH Thomas shorty. On the plate it says the stock tires were 9r 22.5. When I bought it, it has 10r 22.5's on it. The question I have is would it be bad to go to 297/75 22.5?...
