Message: [QUOTE="Jason, post: 339535, member: 430"] Manual. I love those little lo-pro 4700's, id like to find a 7.3 5 speed with air ride. Anyhow...im not sure what the ratio in them is but i can imagine its steep to comoensate for low hp. For having a decent cruise speed and mpg when towing, id try to find a lighter duty 13spd. Ive seen a few put into dodges, and chevy's, so its do-able. Try to let the wider ratio transmission lengthen your legs a little, and for pulling hills, etc. you have a direct gear you can split down to, with roughly a 250-300rpm split to keep in your powervand without either a.) being drug way down in mph before you can downshift, or b.) run rpm through the roof when pulling. a gear swap may be in order, but if you can get rpm to 1900-2000 at 65-70, and you hit a hill, drop one whole gear to bring rpm up to 2500 to pull with. if you drop a little more speed, you can split that half gear to get you back into rpm. The direct side is where your pulling power is anyhow. if i was going to build one of those, i would want to be able to cruise around 75mph anyhow. free flowing exhaut, hpop, stage 1's and a turbo of your choice would make a sweet tow pig with the drivetrain to hold the power without issue for miles and miles.
