you explain it cause no matter what I say he is not going to listen to me maybe if he hears it from other dodge guys it might sway his mind.

The pickup with 3.55's is going to have to work harder to accelerate to speed, maintain speed and pull anything. The 3.92's will be running a bit higher RPM but it won't have to work as hard and shift down near as much.

huh, i am surprised the specs were not in the glovebox. Most people, even with 08s, seem to have it.

Good luck on selling him on the 3.92s, they are worth it.
