Default 96 4.0 ohv 5sp rpm ranges

hello all, its been a long time. I just acquired a 96 ranger xlt, and I am trying to figure what the normal rpm range is for a stock 4.0 ohv with the manual 5 speed and the stock 15 inch tires. I am running 2600-2700 rpm at 65. Is that about normal. Thank all

It depends on what rear axle ratio you have. But that sounds about right for 65 mph.

Sorry folks forgot to add, according to the door tag it has the 3.55 limited slip rear end. I have not verified if its the original gears. It is possible it has been changed out, that's why I am trying to get a comparison.
