Then your MPG might be even worse since it thinks you are turning the tires different revolutions than you actually are. I am not sure the actual math equation behind it. Someone else can post it if they want. Just giving you a heads up that it could be worse than you think. But it might not be.

could be, but it doesn't bother me that much really. i judge my MPG at the pump and pay little attention to the overhead anyhow. long as it's better than ridiculous then im happy. if i wanted super good MPG i wouldnt have bought a full size truck in the first place lol. but the downfalls really aren't near as bad as i thought they would be, so the new gears should definately even everything back out or make it better than stock. we'll see how it all pans out in the next few days

Yeah, I got better MPG when I moved from 29 inch tires and 3.55 gears to 33.8 tires and 4.56 gears.

If it was me I'd just park in the back of any parking lot, or just run any one over lol
