Just to clarify some things here...
1) No, I don't have a burning desire to re-gear the current truck........I'd rather not do it at all, I am just looking for the best solution to get additional towing power where I need it most.
2) I'm not sure that re-gearing my current truck will make that much difference, either.......off the line, it will undoubtably help (the $2500 question is, how MUCH). At highway speed, I anticipate it will help only marginally with the 6 speed auto I've got.
3) What I really wish I had was a low mileage 08/09/10 Super Duty with a V10, instead of the higher revving 6.2L motor........much more low-end torque to get the trailer rolling, without all the repair costs of the diesels. I really don't drive it enough to care about the MPG. I've looked online, and found some nice looking V10s with lower mileage, that would be an option to trade my truck for one, but it seems like a definite step backwards going from an '11 with Backup Cam, SYNC, LED Trip computer, etc etc into an 08-10 body truck (just being honest here).
...Appreciate you all taking the time to post up your thoughts.
