Default 4.7L gears

Im only looking for people with the 4.7L V8 and the 20inch rims to respond.
Im about to possibly switch to the 3.92s, because i used to have the 17inch rims, but as of right now i have the 3.55s and im getting 15.4mpg(hand calculated and not with the overhead console).What gears are you running and what is your mileage?

whats the difference in the 3:92's and stock gears? how can you tell if u bought it used? ive got 5 speed 04 ram quad cam with chrome stock 20's and bought it last week. so i dont know a whole lot about em. love the look and the price so i bought it. if im looking for off the line speed and decent gas mileage, which gears should i use? leave em stock? what are the stock gears?

dickbreakey, go to this website and request a buildsheet. It will tell you everything that came factory on your truck.")'>customerassist <customerassist@daimlerchrysler.com>. As for my gas mileage with the 20" Wheels and 3.92 gears, I am getting around 15 mpg mixed hwy/city.
