RE: 22 MPG out of my 3.7 YEA
I am NEW here,
I have an 04 Ram V6 short bed 5 speed manual. K&n air filter. synthic oil 5w30, 17in tires and 3.55 gears with posi.
It is lowered 2 inches in the front and 4 inches in the rear.
in September of 2007 I traveled 500 miles west from Ohio with my 800 lb motorcycle in the back.
I got 24.5 going west and 24.0 going east.
I believe the mileage is from the lowering kit.
I think this is OK as this is my first Truck.

If anyone is interested in some free 3.55 gears let me know. I upgraded to 4.56 gears.

the 3.21 if connected to an automatic trans may help but 3.55 with a manual will help alittle going up hills but little else...
change in gas mileage will be small.
I have the trailer towing package so the trans is heavy duty, i mean it is BIG...
thanks for the welcome
