Good review, glad you like your truck. My buddy wanted a 4.10 Hemi, but he couldn't find one on a lot and was too impatient to order or keep looking. He got the 3.73 ratio and decided that he hated it. He traded it less than 18 months later on a 3500 Cummins. His biggest complaint with the 3.73 gears was that it would rev high in 4th gear, then drop into 2nd when towing up grades. It wouldn't ever go into 3rd gear towing. I think that the transmission was designed to work well with the 4.10's... but not so well with 3.73's. Its a shame that so few dealerships have the 4.10 option, as that really seems like the right ratio to wake this truck up!
