Yeah the tps adjustment (to spec) as Dro mentioned corrects the lag at start but if econ is your way that's fair. I still say a set of 4.10's are in order for your rig Hydra.

I only noticed very slight improvements on my rig. The thing is mine was soo far gone I forgot what the normal rev was like. Basically, it's just running smoother.

Now the OEM can go all over the place on set point on install. The variance between the TB's and sensors allow for minute changes. When I installed mine it was at .56 volts that is well inside it's allowance but not a perfect fit because the throttle plate is in excess which does require more fuel and even tho there is the PCM controlling everything it can still run crappy without sending a code.

Look at the fuel mileage from 15's down to 8's without triggering a code. Just saying it can happen. I really don't think 1 volt setting is the right setting for all engines and that there should be some experiments to find what works for you.

As for the 410's, I would love em because I tow but to sacrifice the gas mileage is hard to do. You went from 350's to 410's and you needed it. For me I don't think it would do all that much but I would feel the bang. I talked to a gear head about the transfer and he stated that the 392 were one of the best all around for mileage and power. I think I'll stay for now but might do it if I ever pick up a new Ram and put this on the chopping block for a project off road.

Yeah i went from the 3.92 to 4.10s to 4.56 to 4.10. lmao, i like the 4.10 for my oversized tires.
I'd be jealous if you got a new ram, their cheap as all hell now, i think a promo i saw at the dealership when i was pickin up some parts (mouth dragging over the vipers they had) was like $22,000. for spankin new one

I know. Right now probably not a great idea for me but I'm thinking within the next year.

Regardless of which, the D stays!

I thought you went from the 350's????? Your running 33's aren't you?????
