my normal RPM for 65 mph was around 3,450 with stock tires. this is normal, BUT, i thought the '95 SOHC's had 4.44 diff gears (there is one guy on this board with this model vehicle). the rest of us have 4.78's in the diffs. 4.44's were only offered in the very few SOHC's that made it to the US, and this was ONLY for the '95 model year. there may actually be a couple '94's on the west coast with the same set-up, but then they dropped the SOHC for the US market and kept only the 4.78 ratio for the US market, while still offering both gas engines and a diesel for overseas markets, and a 4.625 ratio for europe. since yours is the SOHC and it's in the US, it is difficult to tell what you have without taking it apart and counting the teeth on the pinion versus the ring gear, but it is most likely a 4.44 ratio. yes, pretty low, but good for off-roading and moderately good for road and off-road power, since the engines offered weren't all that powerful and the weight of the vehicle doesn't help. it was also an emissions compromise, in my opinion, getting the engine to run faster, getting it hot quicker, burning gas more easily and more cleanly.
