None of those guys are especially bright...
They complain about the rev drop after a shift to 3rd, and thinks it's for fuel economy. Well, gear ratios dictates your rpm splits regardless of fuel economy tuning.
The ratios aren't actually all that bad. Anyone remembered the old 4 speeds or Dodge's 545RFE "5/6 speed" would know what real bad gearing is about - those things dropped your revs in half after a shift!
My lil 1500 would clean that truck's clock, thanks to 8 speeds and 395 hp, but will run out of GVW for a 12,000 lbs trailer, unless I eh, take off the tailgate and spare tire :P
