with 4.10 at 2000 RPM in 5th gear ( highway gear) you will be only at 39.8 mph with 3.73 43.75 MPH the little tires are the gas milage killer are the tires mounted on a 17 inch rim or 17 inches in diamater? i go these numbers by useign 17 inch as the whole tire diamater. PM me and i can give you exact gear/rpm/speed numbers

just tell me what diamater your tire is. ( one outside to the other)

yep 3.73's i mean with 4.10 u can hit the city up in 5th gear. and be less effecient. but as soon as u hit that highway , it will be like flushing a toilet esp if your tires are 17 inches in diamater but i imagine your talking about your rim
