i know it's an off road my buddies got one getting 11 but he changed his to 3.55's if i remember right. that's why I was wondering what you were running.Originally Posted by DukesOfHazzard

Record Breaker
I've pondered 4.56's but not 3.55's, lol think i need to do the plenum , when i first bought the truck i used to be able to get about 315-320 to a tank of gas now i only can get around 250-260 to a tank. also prob should do a compression check someday

don't say stuff like that I bout fell off my chair laughing. that's one reason I bought my ram it's got better pulling power and fuel economy than my last truck. gotta put a thermostat in it though she's running at 150 after an hour of highway driving and going through coolant faster than it should be.Originally Posted by DukesOfHazzard
