Trying to find some reference for RPM - to - MPH. For instance, when I am running on the highway at 65 mph, my tach is reading about 2.3 x 1000 RPM. Is this correct/average for the v-10? It seems a little high to me. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

that sounds about right to me but the determining factors are the ratio of the trans you have and the rear end ratio.
in my other truck with a C-6 auto and 350 gears @ 65 mph i would be running 3,000 rpm.
so my estimate would put you around 2,300 - 2,500 with a 4 th gear not knowing the gear ratio.
