I need some help with changing a trucks factory set-up. The truck is a 2005 9900I Eagle, 475 CAT, 13 SPD OD and 3.73 rears. The truck is currently set on 22.5 Low Pro.
At 1450 RPMs the truck is running the following:
67.124 MPH on 24.5
64.159 MPH on 22.5
63.774 MPH on 24.5 LP
61.920 MPH on 22.5 LP
I have a light right foot and no real need to really stretch it out going down the road (tankers). I want to maintain resonable pulling power, as I am too old to have to get out of the truck and push to help it get to the top of a hill. :sad:
Question is, what will the overall affect of the change from 22.5 Low Pro to 24.5 be?
All thoughts, opinions and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
