Thanks Juma mtbendo!Those numbers seem about right.I think the standard rear end is a 2.94 and the Big toe is 3.37 or so.If those numbers are right,what you guys report seems dead on.There should be about 14% more RPMS(roughly 220 rpms) at 60mph.Within the limits of reading an analog tach,1500,and 1750 seem right.It is interesting that there is no EPA mileage difference between to two.Gues the tiny bit of increased friction at 1750 just isn't significant on the Titan.Say,does Nissan make some claim of using a friction reducing coating on the pistons?Maybe that was some motorcycle I read about-good idea though-must add to the cost however..Thanks,Charlie
