Well it took just over 4.5 turns going in to get one out, so it confirms my expectation of the non granny. I was pretty sure of that when I loaded the truck on the trailer.
Not sure how fast the engine was idling, but boy did the truck launch when I let out on the clutch (no smooth engagement). It's got me a little worried about going to taller tires on the M, will it be too much?
I know the M's gears are 5.83's while the W's were 4.10's, but if I run 39.5" Super Swamper IROK's top speed in high range in 1st gear will be 17 MPH (4,000 RPM), while idling will be 3.4 MPH (800 RPM).
Thanks,
Will
