You can also use it as an odometer, and of course it will show you where you are any where in; /html/mg-t/2003-08/msg00047.html (12,009 bytes)

The engine seems to run smoothly and happily there and, until recently, it was fast enough with my gearing to unduly avoid obstructing overtaking traffic.

Re: TF rear axle ratios/GPS/Cruising speed (score: 1): Author: Skip Kelsey <kelsey@shadetreemotors.com>; Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2003 08:56:08 -0700; 2550 ft. per min. of piston speed equates to 4130 RPM in the Xpag and Xpeg engine.This should not be exceeded for long periods of time if you want longevity of your engine.

Re: TF rear axle ratios/GPS/Cruising speed (score: 1): Author: Bud Krueger <budkrueger@earthlink.net>; Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2003 14:45:36 -0400; With a 4.3 rear end, and a healthy engine, I cruise very comfortably at about 3800-4000 rpm. This is in the vicinity of 65-68 mph with the 165-15 SP20's. The engine is a bit peppier than standard pr; /html/mg-t/2003-08/msg00052.html (13,708 bytes)

Has anyone an idea why the wear index for TD was so much greater than for TC and TF (101 vs 88.2, 87.0)? How was wear index calculated?

Re: TF rear axle ratios/GPS/Cruising speed (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@bcpl.net>; Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2003 08:29:07 -0400 (EDT); If i remember correctly, R&T's wear index was calculated using a formula based on piston speed at 60 MPH (or some road speed).
