Let's put a little math on the 4.56 geared CUCV and
draw your own conclusions (assuming my math is good).

Using a stock 235/R7516 @ 29 inch diameter for
calculations.

Speed RPM's

45 2380
55 2908
60 3173
65 3437
70 3702
75 3966

Can you run the 6.2 at 70 mph all the time? Probably.
Would I want to run it at that RPM with stock
gearing/tires? Probably not. At 2380 rpm you can see
why 45 mph is where the military preferred it be run.

J. D.
