Okay, I've been crunching numbers and I'm still at a loss...
This all pertains to the '89 351W with a C-6 (rebuilt 15k and 3 years ago).

-Which is a 3-speed with top gear being 1:1 ratio, yes?
-With 32x11.5's
-with an axle code of H9, which is a 3.55 limited slip

With that, I should be doing @ 2200rpm at 60mph

Now, I don't have a tach, but there's no way I'm doing that. It's more like 3500-4000rpm. My shifts occur at 25mph for 2nd and 35mph for 3rd.

Wiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Is something slipping? Did the tranny place hose something up when they put in a rebuilt?

"Sounds like you're stuck in 2nd maybe?"
That's what I thought when my wife told me about it. (The '89 is her Bronco)
No such luck. It's a firm shift, with noticable RPM change...only it's at 35mph.
Night and day compared to the 5.0L and E4OD in the '94.

It's a Custom trim level, so no stock tach. Just going by ears and feel. Not in the mood to install an aftermarket just so I can see my 351W spinning like a hamster on crank. It'll probably never have to go over 45 when we move to Maine anyways.
