it would seem my 358 rears gears are causing both the fan problems and poor fuel mileage. a freids truck has 3.21 ratio. what do you other 450 mercendes owners have for gear ratios? i drive at 80 and max speed is 83 engine is maxed out a lot of times on open interstates/ my truck has mercendes axles that donot offer anything between 2.40 and 3.58 thanks for any imput.
