RPMS at what speeds?

i have a 99 Tacoma 5 speed 4.10 gearing pushing 265/75/16 and at 70mph I’ll be at 4K rpms I was wondering if that was normal or do I have something wrong?? What rpms do y’all do at 70?

 

I’ll be in 5th gear at 4K rpms doing 70

 

No I can’t hear anything bc it’s screaming with my exhaust

 

Believe me I’m in 5th gear

 

It had been idling already for a couple minutes but believe me I’m in 5th gear I would know if I’m not it engages fine and rpms drop once I shift from 4th to 5th

 

Yeah I switched out the gauge cluster it’s an original 5 speed manual I got the gauge out of an auto

 

damn...I don't know what my stock gear ratio is exactly (2004 v6 5speed) but I have the same size tires as you and I'm at 2800 RPMs at 70mph. 4k sounds awful high...

 

I know right I have a buddy with a 98 and same gearing and tires and he does like 70 at 25 or 3k i mean it’s just screaming I try not to go that fast bc I don’t want to strain the motor

 

Wonder if your e-brake cable is stuck on, or the rear drums are partially engaged...something that might be forcing the truck to have to work a lot harder to maintain speed..?

 

I’m not sure I haven’t checked but it shouldn’t be handbrake is off and line feels loose underneath the cab

 

My 02 DC Pre Runner with a 2.7 4cyl with 4.56 gears and running 265/70 16's at 70 mph I'm at 2800rpm

 

I’m not sure I haven’t really paid attention how much it drops but I’ll only rev out to 3 or 3500 within shifts

 

Well do happen to have an idea of what wrong

 

Wow then there’s definitely something wrong with my truck

 

Maybe a bad torque converter

 

I have a 5 speed with the v6 and I'm looking at 2500 rpm I think when I am cruising at 70 mph. Are you sure of the gear ratio?

 

I’m in 5th gear

 

I don’t have my overdrive

 

Can you verify the speed independently with GPS?

4000 RPM is around the torque peak for that engine IIRC. It shouldn’t be spinning that fast at 70 mph.

 

Yeah bud it’s a 4:10 gear ratio 5speed manual
