    RPMs

    Thanks for the reply...Why would Ford use a 5.13 rear gear with a diesel motor? I am thinking about replacing the 235/85/16 rear tires with 285/85/16's to help lower the engine RPM's.

    RPMs

    That's pretty close to me....I have 235/85/16's,with a 5.13 gear and at 60 mph,it turns about 2400 rpm in OD.With the tow/haul butto on,it turns about 3000 rpm.
