Angry RPMs too high

F350 on 20" rubber with 355s rus 2000 rpm at about 70mph. I don't like to run at such a high RPM.Would be nice to run 70-75 at about 1400-1500 RPM and would be easier on fuel as well.

You have the biggest OEM tire and the lowest gear ratio, you outta luck . Unless you want to fork out big $ for a 3.31 front and rear gear swap and retune

unless you drop the rear end ratio or do a gear vender over drive you wont see those rpms with factory 20's. and for what it's worth i am just under 2k at 75mph with 3.73's & 35" tires.

OEM Goodyear 275/65/20's are about 35", I figured the OP would be under 2000 at 70mph ???

You sure you have 3.55s ? I just double checked and I'm a touch over 1800 with the
factory 20s and 3.73s in my F350
