Ewe 3.55s nasty LOL. Yeah I bought mine new in sep 06 so they were starting to lower the prices on them.
I have the tow package so it came with 3.92 so not worth 1000 or 1500 bucks to go with 4.56 plus most of my miles are at cruising speed so my mpg would drop.

Yeah 3.55s I dont know what dodge was thinking? True from most who upgraded from 3.92s to 4.56s barley noticed a difference from what I have read. But from my experiencewith 3.55s then upgrading to4.56s,I gained about 1.5-2 mpg on average, and my weekly commute is 80% highway and 20% city...Anything is better than 3.55s [:'(]

I went from 3.55 to 4.56. Greatest mod yet.
