7.3 diesel with 355 gears
Has anyone had 355 gears with a 7.3 diesel was thinking about changing to them from 410's but want to know if it will be geared too low, also what rpm will 65mph, be at 410's at 1900 is about 56mph

Isn't that drop in mileage more a result of increased wind resistance which increases as the square of the velocity? If so, then it doesn't matter what gears you have. You'll need to add the same amount of power to overcome the resistance at 60 mph.
The only reason I mention this is due to an experiment that was forced upon me. I had belt sep in the 2 rear tires on one of my cars. I had to wait 4 days to get new tires and in that 4 days I was driving about 55 MPH everywhere (instead of my usual 9 over the speed limit lol). I noticed that average gas mileage took a 25% jump. Nothing else changed except velocity.
Just something to ponder.
