If anyone has any sound clips that would be awesome!! thanks again

 

There's only one real solution - Lower Gears... Anything else (supercharger) will cost you too much money... If you want good mpg and more power wait till next year. The new 4.7 V8 will have pretty good gas milage and 290HP + 320ft of torque. Trade your truck in

I had a SI/SO flowmaster delta 40 with the stock pipe out the back. I bought an extension about 12". It was all 2.5" diameter. It sounded ok at low rpms. At high rpms, like 3000, it was a fart can. I dont know if its the muffler style. I have never tried a SI/SO 50 or a regular 40. I have sound bytes here www. dodg etalk .com (remove the spaces) and search the gallery for my user name. Its the same user name there as here.

 

First, thanks to you that replied to my post. What gears would work best for my truck? I've heard many ppl swapping the stocks for some 4:11's. Any/all suggestions appreciated.

I have been more than happy with my 3.93 factory setup. And I would not want it any other way! I have the auto trans and I feel it is PERFECT for the rpm range that the engine likes to run in. EVEN WITH the 3.93 it still wants to downshift going up long steep hills. I can only imagine any higher (Numericaly lower) rear axle ratio would be a really sluggish dog!(With auto trans) I have no porblems or complaints at all with my trucks power, even when pulling the trailer with 2,800 lbs on it. It easyly out pulls the 4.6L v-8 F-150 here at work.

By the way, is your UT Univ. of Tenn. or Texas?

For the love of God please be a Vol's fan.

 

I'm sure me and wishbone will butt heads on this but it's TEXAS LONGHORNS all the way!!!lol Thanks coyote for the info, i think my truck came with higher gears than yours but i'll have to look into swapping them out.

O WHO?

 

Yep, mine came with the infamous 3.21 gears which suppousdely help you at hwy speeds. I think most people rule of thumb is bigger tires means swapping gears. I am hurting cause I have stock 20's with 3.21 on a V6. Coyote yours came with 3.92, you lucky dog. I know a swap that I priced here was abouts $700. The guy says I have to change the whole carrier, dont know if its true, but I rather get lockers too, but thats another $300.

 

Yeah I think mine has the 3.21's as well cuz I just pulled a 10ft. trailer full of of stuff and it struggled the whole time I was traveling, didn't go below 3k RPM's, burned half a tank in 115 miles[:@]....I was thinking that maybe swapping the stock rear end with one that came on a hemi based truck. I would think that it would be a bolt on kind of thing but i'm not for sure if that would be the case

 

It's all good. After all some of the worst people I know are texass fans. J/K !!! Maybe I will see you in Dallas in October.
