    I tend to agree with Roger. Installing much higher rear gears would be the first thing to address.

    Here is an excellent chart that will help to pick the best gears for the application. With the overdrive trans. and 38.5" diameter tires a 5.38 gear would be "just right" and make the truck much more enjoyable to drive. You'll think you tripled the horsepower!

    Be sure to read the notes about overdrive transmissions that are discussed in the text above the chart.

    Hope this helps... and post up some photo's of your truck Tom. No doubt it looks great with those big meats!
