It took me a while to understand why I could still pull every grade along I-5 border to border at 55 or more with the 3:42's at near 29K. It's gearing. But I found out it does not like to take off on a steep hill from a start. That is why my next RAM (not Dodge) will have 4:10's.
When I went on the TDR and told of my purchase and what I was towing you would have thought the sky was falling! I did have a price from the dealer to swap front and rear diffs to 4:10 for $1,500 but decided not to after seeing how the truck performed.
I have been thinking lately I may just go ahead and do the gear swap if RAM does not get the air ride in the 3500 dually's soon.
