Good information here. Thanks for that site link. I've been looking for more automotive math.

Here is a speed calculator where you enter rear end gears, target RPM, tire size, and tranny drive ratio (rotations per mile are calculated for you).

Where could I find out the length of the driveshaft in Tahoe?? Or if you could outline it for me it would be greatly appreciated. I would like to know if this is something I need to be weary of!!
BTW this is the second write up from you in a week that should be made a sticky or at least soem sort of archive. Very good info!!

Of course, there just happened to be no driveshaft for me to measure at the time....you will probably have an easier time than I did.
I just looked through it again....I am off to a D/S shop soon.
