It would be worse if you had 3.73s. The lower the ratio (bigger number), the more power to the rear wheels but worse mileage.

Is there anything on this Site with what the RPO codes mean?

I got the answer to my original Post here. But I was just wondering about the 6 Columns of Codes and what that all means.

Great Link - Thanks!

RPO == Regular Production Option

The list is a list of all of the options installed on your truck.
