So obvious that both Ram and Ford are incredibly happy that the GM Duramax truck doesn't offer a 4.10 rear ratio because the gap would be a heck of a lot more than 15 seconds. Maybe even a whole minute + as so much more torque (another 10%) would be delivered to the drive wheels that turns them. Educated people know that it's TORQUE and only TORQUE that turns the drive wheels to the RPM desired or wanted. Higher rotation of the drive wheels means faster velocity of the vehicle as the drive wheel OD's are basically equal on all 3 trucks.
Rear ratios: 4.10 / 3.73 = 1.1 or 10% more torque delivered to the drive wheels. Maybe a little difficult for some of you to comprehend, but try!
Also obvious that GM has no need to offer a 4.10 as it already delivers more rotational force to the drive wheels of it's truck than either Ford or Ram.
Let the uninformed begin their BS rambling now! Just show clearly how much you don't really know or understand!
Read the article that me again posted and maybe you will come to realize that you haven't got a clue .
