Are you sure about the 2.41 rearend ratio? If your tires are about 215/75R15, then that would be about 750 revolutions per mile. Multiply by 2.41 equals 1800 RPM at 60 MPH. If your fifth gear is 0.73, then fifth gear RPM at 60 MPH equals 1320 RPM.
I don't see how that engine can pull that truck in fifth gear without significant aeromods and LRR tires.
