Not sure, but, it seems the RPM's are a bit high at 55-60 MPG. At that speed, my engine RPM is at 2300-2500. At 65 mph the engine is at 2700-3000. Any input?

sounds about normal if you ask me. What size tires are you running?

Ah another Az'er welcome, check out our local forum on this site called Az Crawler Crew. Any ways you must be somewhat new to monteros, driving at 3000-4500 RPMs is no big deal for a montero. It's just how they are built, going up hills heading away from phoenix to flag, the rim or globe back when i had 4.27's and 35's i'd push 5k for miles with no issues now with the 4.90's and 35's still i'll do 3500-4000RPMs most of the way and i have almost 200k miles. hope this makes you feel better. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I'm running 235/75r 15's. I guess I'm a little paranoid. I am by no means a mechanic, but, I tackled replacing the wheel bearings myself. The vehicle no longer sounds like a p-51 mustang taking off. Thanks for the info. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Perfectly normal RPMs for a Gen 1 or 2 with automatic transmission and 235R 75-15s (OEM) tires.

Its not a V8, 3000rpm is nothing, most small engined cars run over 3000 at 70mph <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
