not sure if anyone can help but I had to replace my speedometer needle and I think my 91 hardbody kingcab pulled 2750 rpm at 70. I had to put needle on and when I removed old broken one i noticed the needle when it does not hit the stop post falls below zero at rest. I pushed it on slightly and pulled it above the stop post. Anyone with 5 speed do you know RPM in 5th at 70? is it close to 2750 rpm? That appears to be what I am running and hope it is close. maybe find a cop to radar me

Thanks rev I am right at 2750 and I believe that was the old place, I have slightly larger tires than stock and according to the tire calculater I found online this must be damn close to right. Thanks again for the check out.
