I think if you get a SRW, 3.42s are your only choice with the diesel. You need to go to a DRW to get 3.73 or 4.10. Much like Ford. 3.31 or 3.55 in SRW trucks.
Yeap, select the 3.73 or 4.10 gears and it forces the build to dual rear wheels. Bummer!!!!! 12,300 GVWR and the wrong gears for really towing a big load. You have a truck with a 4778 payload and 17,300 max trailer load and crappy to tall gears.
