When I find out whether or not my speedo is right on or off a few mph, I will certainly post the results to let you all know. In the meantime, I really don't have a lugging issue or a power loss with the 3.07s and 31s. I can start up a moderate sized hill doing 65 (according to the speedometer) in 5th gear, and not have to stomp the gas pedal to continue going up the hill at a nice pace. I am wondering if the spec sheet on my jeep is wrong, and I actually have 3.73s. I will look at the rear diff case tonight and see what the stamp says. |

How can you get an accurate speedometer reading by comparing two unknowns? That is a GIGO situation to me. For one example, comparing the old and new tires. Makes no sense to me. That will only tell you how much more or less one tire is off from the 'other', not how fast you are going. For example again, when I bought my CJ7 with 31's it was only going 60 mph when the speedo said 65 mph according to a GPS. I then put 33's on and it became correct according to GPS. That is the only way to know short of a measured mile. How come my CJ7's numbers don't work in the rpm vs mph box? 258, T-5 tranny in 4th should be 1:1, Dana 300 t-case is 1:1, 3.31:1 D44 rear.
