Hello everyone!
I am a new member, and new to the diesel world.
Looking froward to learn a lot from You fellas, as I see there is a lot of knowelage around to pick up.
I am sure there are going to be some naive qusetions coming from me, but please contain Yourselfs to explode into a massive laughter.(I am alredy smileing about what the future may bring .
So cheers to Dodge, and Cheers to diesel power and this forum !

Welcome to DF

Our members are not like that. All of us have been there at one time, just remember the only dumb question is the one you don't ask. That means, there are no dumb questions.

Thanks M.T.
Here is the fist question I have:
I have 4.10 11.5 AAM. I would like to swap to 3.75,or 3.55.
Not towing more than 4000 lbs max ever, and even that maybe 5-6 times a year. Is it worth swapping for the milage increase? (cost vs. saving)

Gooser.

If you were to do a swap, I would go with the 3.75 not the 3.55. Because if you go to low on the gear ratio, you may start have shifting problems with the transmission.
