Ramcharger, Trailduster & Power Wagon Grrrr!! Tough Trucks! The Dodge Ramcharger and Plymouth Trailduster were full size SUV's that had good looks and brute strength. The Dodge Power Wagon was comparable to them in toughness, but came in pickup truck form only.

From what I've found, the D50 Diesel has a 4.10 ratio. The D40 has a 3.50 ratio.

Almost forgot to mention that those are stock ratios. I'm not certain of what they would be with 35's.

I'm not sure what the stock gear ratio on them mitsu trucks are. However 35's according to statistics call for 4.56 gears. I found that 4.10 gears actually run better on the truck because you can actually drive it on trips down the e-way without it screaming like a raped pig. As I'm sure you know the bigger the number...the shorter the gearing....short=torque...tall=speed. So you have to figure out what you're gonna use the truck for. If you want it for a driver....any where from 3.73 to 4.10.....a puller...4.10 for sure...or a torque monster for the rocks or trails...4.56 on up.
