Keep us posted and if you don't mind telling us, how much does a gear swap cost? I know 4.30 gears are hard to find on the dealer lots so I'm curious if it's just easier swapping out gears if you find a great deal on a truck with a 3.73.
Cost depends on location, in San Diego it is about $2400, but I know an awesome shop in LA that quoted $1500. I just couldn't get the truck up there during the week.
