They got a bad rap for noise some years back, so you'll probably see some negative feedback on them, but I've been running Genuine's since April of '05 without a single hint of a whine. At last fluid change they looked perfect. Pyro runs them in the rear of his 4x2 also and they've never made a sound.
The Lifetime Warranty and price is what got me to try them.
Gears are ALL about the install. Find you a good, experienced installer, pay his price and you should be fine regardless of the brand, except US Gears. The cheapest gears on the market and NOBODY has been able to install them and keep them from whining!!!

Frankly, I don't think these trucks can come anything close to topping out on RPM in the top two gears anyway. My guess is that the best top speed capability would come in 3rd gear if you're geared right. Your revs will be up in the power band, and you'll have the advantage of not being in overdrive. Not ideal for cruising, but for a test run, it'd be interesting to see what kind of top speed could be produced (on a track, of course - don't try this at home).
Of course, the governor is usually the limiting device.Any idea what the top speed governor setting is on these trucks? I know that it can be changed with a tuner, but I'm wondering what Dodge sets it at.

J/K - It looks like you've got yours set up to run fast! How's your 1/4 mile times?

x2 and what gear and rpm are you trapping? with and without spray? Sounds like a Go-er. I personally stop at 120 since i am at the top of 3rd. No need to go to OD. Prob' going to be worse when i change out my 4.10's.
