At 60mph...
I'm at about 2200 rpms or so. What is up with that? I can barely make it to 70 with the engine being defueled. Is my truck jacked up? I have 285/75/16s and the speedo has been corrected for them. Please help.

Ummm... If your getting 16mpg right now, you will prolly only see a few miles per gallon more with 3.55's... I wouldnt change rear ends unless your always on the highway. You will love the 4.10 if you ever want to pull anything.

3.55
I only had my truck about 200 miles before I put the plate & GSK in, but the timing was a few tanks later. I picked up about 2 MPG with the timing bump. I average about 18.5 empty, can top 20 if I do all highway and keep my speed about 68.

I got 4.10's in my current truck had 3.55's in my old one. I really like the 4.10's when I gotta pass somethin but I miss 21mpg's. I was wondering what a truck is like that has 3.55's and has been bombed? My old one ws stock. Could't pass a vehicle unless the other lane was clear for about a mile.

Have you actually clocked your truck over a known distance to check the accuracy of the speedometer? Seen if it takes 60 seconds to travel exactly 1 mile at an indicated 60 mph? If that checks out, I think that your tachometer may be reading too high.
