On a 3.6L V6 Express with 275/60/20 tires, the 3.21 rear ratio is standard and the 3.55 rear ratio is optional.
When test driving both ratios in a Express regular cab short box, seems like the eight speed 845RE transmission shifted more with the 3.55 compared to the 3.21.
Is the 845RE 8 speed transmission more compatable with the 3.21 or is the 3.55 a better choice?
Engine speed at 65 mph in 8th gear is only about 1467 rpm with 3.21 ratio and about 1623 rpm with 3.55 ratio.
