I thought of Fish when the star of the show was all excited about how Ford built their Diesel "IN HOUSE" HA yea if you can call it in house made in Mexico.
Yes Fish my truck is assembled in Mexico.
I can tell you the gearing does make a big difference. Went to dinner with the family last night when heading out of town I was sitting at the light in my nearly 10K RAM 4:10's and my son was behind me in his 9K Limited 3500LB Crew 3:42's. Both trucks have Aisin's. We both hit it hard off the light. I pulled ahead off the light and stayed evenly ahead up to 60mph. Point is my truck is 1K heavier and I would have had a faster 0-60 than him and that is with the same HP and TQ. At the end of the 1/4 mile he would have passed me no doubt.
