Hey Jack, if he is passing someone at maybe 50-75% APP then he is feeling the 4th gear shift at 80. Otherwise it will be running in 3rd at WOT for the 80s. Sometimes the third or fourth gear shift is so smooth you dont feel it but you do feel the torque converter locking.

My rational on the gearing was to drop from whatever the truck had down a step more.
So now I see it's 355. But. With the slightly larger tire the 33's. Typical stock is about 31.9". So the added mass of rolling force may dampen some of the advantages of the larger tire. That's why I suggested the gear change. By swapping gears down to say like 308, there's less rolling mass. Hmmmm interesting concept?
