But that's my point. He was turning 2250 rpm's at 70 mph in 6th. He had no 7th for when he wasn't loaded. You could be in 5th and out pull is 6th, I'm sure and then have 6th with lower rpm's when you were empty.

I'd rather not remember it. I hated the .79 w/the 3.73. Just my feeling. I know there are other sides to the story. I'm glad it's in the past. Otherwise, I loved that truck.
