I believe the 4L60E is:
3.06 in 1st,
1.67 in 2nd,
1.00 in 3rd
.75 in OD.

Kinda off topic....

Why do I see most people latley running their dynos in 2nd gear? If 3rd is the 1 to 1 wouldent running it in second gear offset the numbers?

They hit the rev limiter/speed limiter in 3rd on a stock truck. If I dyno mine with stock gears and these tall tires it will have to be in 2nd also as my tires are not for high speeds.

So then is there a formula to find your real dyno numbers?
