wish I could cruise at 68mph and only turn 1900rpm. these 4.10's are putting a dent into my mileage, at 2000rpm I'm going 62. but I still get almost 19 at 70mph

I hear ya! I don't pull any monster loads, so I didn't get the 4.10's

it was a surprise for me since when I ordered my truck they were initialy going to Kentucky to get it, that one was sold then they found mine in Florida. when it pulled up it had about 8K more in options that I didnt want, but got for free since I signed the paperwork for the same price (the dealership owner about went ape when he found out). then I noticed why I wanted the 3.73's but with the ORP that is on my truck it automaticaly comes with 4.10's.

Ive gotten used to them, but still wish I had 3.73's, but I can fix that with an overdrive gear unit.

Changing the gears in the front and rear end would be cheeper than an overdrive.

yes, but I would be able to keep my 4.10's when I need to pull something
