gear changes
#2
what do you have in it and which way to do you want to go? my 2wd has 3.42's in it and i think they are pretty bitchin. decent fuel mileage and the truck isnt struggling. you figure that you are going to be buying the gears which will probably cost you at least 500-600. plus labor. which could vary shop to shop.

you have 3.73's now?? if thats the case, i would leave it. you arent going to lower the gear ratio that much i dont think. you will probably end up around 3.42. i know that they make calculators for this sort of thing.
here, check this out. it only takes a second to put the numbers and options in.

3.42 gears shouldnt affect your milege much,its a good gear ration for hiway driving and not bad for city.if you do more city than hiway then 3.73 would give you better milege.It wont be bad for hiway driving either.I have the 3.42`s in my Jimmy but its 4wd.Its supposed to get 21 hiway and 15 city but I dont know It hasnt been driven in almost 3 years.
