I don't think it should be running that high at all 55mph in 1st gear that is. Then again its a automatic..probably a little bit diff. so im not sure. Could possibly be an LS tranny on it. That would suck if it was. Check the tranny code on it. (in reply to nightrider46) Post #: 11

Status: offline *sigh*.... with an Auto tranny, the 1st gear is only used till like 10mph then it goes into second, so you have a very good chance that you are actually in second gear... _____________________________ (in reply to nightrider46) Post #: 19
