I wouldn't want 4.10 gears unless I was planning on regularly towing over about 24000 lbs. Find one with 3.42 gears.
I respect your opinion. It makes me re think my thought on a 14 like my truck with the Aisin, air ride with 4:10's.
As I have said before my truck with 3:42's have worked well.
Probably will be going to a 38' Elite Suites along with a new 14 Ram.
Decisions Decisions!
I think the 3:73 would be the perfect one, right in the middle...gives you that "grunt" to get going and you get decent mpg.....If towing 24,000#, I'd opt for the 3:73, if towing in the mountains....but, that's just me.
I am almost thinking the same. I keep thinking If I get the 4:10's I won't be able to wish i did get the 4:10's. The only time I wished I had the lower gears is when I had to take off on a steeper grade.
Solo mileage is not a real concern since the 13 and 14's will get better mileage than mine even with the 4:10's.
Larry mine is really in need of a full detail so a new truck is in order!
I like NC's way of trading every 1-2 years!
