Good luck in your search!
Thanks!

The oil coolers actually aren't part of the package I was surprised to find. They come standard, and I wouldn't want to tow anything without them. But since they aren't part of the HD package, that's what raised the question in my mind if I really needed the HD package or not.
Why the higher axle ratios? What do you see as the pros and cons? I don't know much about axle ratios.
