"If the same truck is expected to pull 35000 lbs down that same highway it can be determined that 440 HP can only pull the hill at about 52 mph. It would be desirable for the transmission to again be in 4th gear while the engine is running near 2800 rpm.
This truck will have a little smaller diameter tires and should have a 4.30 rear gear ratio."
Ok but lets assume I have enough horsepower go 60 mph or the hill is a little less grade. Then a 3.73 gear would be best at 2800 rpm and 4th gear.
