how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

Van overdrive is a 0.71 and Goldies truck is 0.79 overdrive. Close enough that I'll bet the Van is turning 2500 at 70.
But a tach is the next installment. Provided somebody makes a tach that will work with 10 cylinders.

I think my truck would be 90+mph at 2500rpm!!! I bet your not turning 2500 at 70, but who knows

Lt245/75R16.

So according to this calculator you're turning just under 2000 rpm.

Well put it to the test! For science and stuff.

Our ‘15 Dodge 3.8L, six spd OD is turning 1700 @ 65. Would it go 130 at 3400?

I doubt it. Run out of poop at 90 most likely. Barn door aerodynamics and all.

It could very well be running under 2k at that.
I'm just comparing 2 other trucks with factory tachs in them. Granted they're both 6 cylinders. Both run right close to 2500 at 70mph.
Now, the Van is 310hp and 425lbs of torque. So it, theoretically, could run lower rpm's.
I do know this. There's some pretty decent hills over in eastern Missouri and the ones down on the way to Chattanooga are 6% grade. It never once shifted out of overdrive or unlocked the torque converter and never dropped below 55 mph.
It'll do what I want it to do.

That's all that matters

What little I've read about it is there was an 8mm round and 7mm round variant. I think the 7mm was a Swedish made one. But the 7.62 or 7.62R were the Russian types. Further reading is that it's the Russian Mosin-Nagant rifle. My boss bought one. Said it's pretty decent. Apparently it's the longest produced rifle, too. From about 1891 to the mid 70's and apparently about 30 million made.
Interestingly on the show "Life below zero" the Hailstones use a Mosin-Nagant to hunt with.

7.62 x 54 r was the nagant

They look larger than they are due to my size six shoe.
