If enjoyment is your goal I agree it's all worth it.
My point is for the most part be it tuners, gearing, snake oils, or a plethora of other mods. If the goal is to improve MPG's those mods are never/seldom beneficial.
Those mods can improve performance and make the drive more enjoyable.
However they won't produce enough of a MPG improvement to provide any negligible fuel/cash savings once the numbers are crunched.
i agree completely. MPG mods are generally stupid. I plan to do a gear upgrade because it will tow better but i think in this case it might also result in better towing MPG.
I think 3.73 is a great compromise for highway cruising without a heavy load and with the V10 it will still get the job done with 5 tons of trailer, I expect i'll get better towing mileage with the 4.3
You will get better mileage. When I did mine I went with 4.30 but looking back I could’ve went with 4.56 and still had good highway mileage and RPM. Even with the stock size tires.
