3.42 or 4.10?
I am going to place my order for a 2013 Ram 3500 DRW Crew Cab Diesel tomorrow.......3.42 or 4.10 rear end? Putting a 1140 Arctic Fox on the back, towing a 5,000 lb boat or Toyota Tacoma from time to ...

You don't need 4.10 or any other low ratio like that with the Aisin 6-speed automatic.
The Aisin handles the gearing. It has a nice low 1st gear to get the load moving even with a 3.42 rear axle ratio.
It has 3 intermediate gears for getting up to highway speed.
5th gear is for cruising with a load.
6th gear is for cruising empty.
Plus you've got *YES* power and torque from the Cummins engine.
You are correct, I read that exact same info on a diesel website....going with the 3.42's, get as much MPG's as possible!
