What gears do I need?
Looking at a Ram 2500 to pull a 7K travel trailer. It will be a gasser with the 6.4 hemi. Should I get the 4.10 rear end or will the 3.73 do what I need?

It is a constant because many do not under this technology, nor have the ability to understand the science & do the simple math well enough to make the correlation from that paper to the real world...free associative skills not high
Plus, get many, many PM's asking to comment...on this and many other topics. Normally only back to them via PM...unless there are more who are lurkers and don't post
Those video's and technical links mostly help...but...many won't go there and learn...or continue to not understand....
PS...this very topic has confused some of my past software engineers...nothing wrong...just the way of it...

The 4.10 gearing will not give you more horsepower.
Gearing will not change the horsepower of a vehicle period.
Only modifications to the engine can increase horsepower.
Not sure why this keeps getting repeated.
We know gear ratios don't change what the engine puts out.
They multiply (or reduce in the case of overdrive gears) when get's sent to the tires to drive the truck forward.
If they didn't matter, all vehicles would have 1 speed transmissions and 1:1 rear end ratios.
