Drop down to 4.10s and let it eat. Diesels are over rated....prove me wrong (flame suit engaged)

3.54 vs. 4.10
3.54 vs 4.30
3.54 vs 4.56
@BigClay I'm not sure where you sweet spot is on that truck but I'd assume good cruising at 2400-2600 Rpms? and good hill killing power above that? Personally I'd be looking at 4.30 or 4.56, the deciding factor would be you feel the truck likes to be at rev wise.

You must have not seen us rolling in convoy, plus it's dangerous not being able to maintain the the speed limit or keep up up with the flow of traffic.

Is that a powered mirror?Both Joe (7.3 Ford) and myself (6.0 Ford) left Chris (cummings) like he was going backwards on the pulls coming back from Harlan. (I never downshifted from 6th)
But we were BOTH left in the dust by Adam in his 8.1 Chevy.
You don't need a diesel (especially towing to harlan) you just need an 8.1
besides...yours is the meanest looking Dodge evah!
