Changing from 3.73 to 4.10 gears
Hello all, After towing our new Reflection 320MKS from Eastern Iowa to Estes Park Colorado and back, I need more power for the hills. I have a 2015 F-250 with the 6.2 Liter engine. I have 3.73 years...

Repeat after me: GEARS DO NOT INCREASE POWER! One more time: GEARS DO NOT INCREASE POWER!
However the lower gear does effectively reduce the spacing between transmission gears and the operator can more easily keep the RPM in the correct power zone AND THIS MAKES MORE POWER.
Huge benefit on the old 3 and 4 speed transmissions. On mine I would easily hit redline in second but would lose speed in third. Gear change allowed more speed and the correct RPM so I can go faster.
Again we need more info on the OP driving experience...
