3.07s are a pain - at motorway speed 70mph in 5th has little power and you
have to downchange to 4th for going up hills and watch the cruise control
doesn't bog. Fitting 31s means that 5th is useless but 4th works much
better. 3.07 is a mistake DC should have corrected before now. My mileage
with 31s in 4th is the same as the 29s in 5th, and my speedometer now reads
1mph below what my GPS thinks. As our trucks are limited to 55 or 60mph, I
can cruise along at 60-65mph, get decent mileage and not get in anyones way.
