that's what i thought is that all 20's have 3.92 to turn the heavier mass of wheel?

If RPM is ~1400 at ~55 MPH, it's 3.55 (or 1800 @ 70)

if it's ~1550 at ~55 MPH, it's 3.92 (or 2000 @ 70)

thankfully, dodge is good at spacing the tach out enough to read every 25 RPM almost :P

I thought I read somewhere that ALL 1500's with 20's and the Factory Tow package came with 3:92's.
But not all 1500's that have 20's have 3:92's but rather 3:55 unless ordered with the 3:92's?????
I used to think that everyone with 20's had 3.92's, was proven wrong. I used to think that everyone with the factory tow had 3.92s, was proven wrong.

I can walk two doors down from my mother's house and see an '06 Hemi QCSB 4x2 with stock 20's and tow package and he has 3.55s...

It is on the window sticker, too. They quit putting the sticker in the glovebox years ago.
