First off, when one is into these big trucks... Fuel economy is a secondary consideration to performance for most.
Second, just looking at the highway cruising gear of the trannys performance, misses a lot.
I have changed a R&P or two lowering the gear ratio in each case.
It totally changes the personality of the vehicle. It accelerates better in EVERY gear, and the engine BRAKING is better as well.
In short it is like a totally different truck.
Certain components such as brakes, u joints and the tranny will live an easier life, likely resulting in lower long term repair costs
Cool....I guess I should start driving with my transfer case in low range.
It is quite clear now that your only purpose is to argue. I think that is the definition of a troll. And yes, you should never take YOUR truck out of low range and low gear.
