That would prolly be about right. As far as different gear options there's a good bit. 3:55's, 3:73's, 4:10's, 4:54's. many people that I have talked to about 3:55's also called them 3:54's. the dealership I gave my vin to to check the factory gearing an try told me they were 3:55's

My 3500 4x4 has 4.10s with the stock governor springs and about 81 mph down hill is all shes got!! i cruise at 55 right at 2,000 rpms. Not as good as my fuel mileage in my other one with 3.54s. But you cant put a price on how much better the 4.10s pull. On a good day ill get 16-17 mpg on 265s. My other one i had with 3.54s sittin on 35" terra grapplers would get 23-25 all day long.

 

they came with 3.54's and 4.10's only from the factory.

 

A few of my frineds have factory 3.73's ... my understanding is that it was a special option ?? but .. 373's @ 4 K ... is damn fast , I too wouldnt like to see my 6K truck rollign at that speed unless i had a paraschute ...LOL

 

Yeah, I have 4K springs and scale 7200lbs with the bulk tank full. It seems perfectly composed as fast as I've had it, but it ain't no sports car and I'm not particularly confident in seeing what it'll do flat out. Last thing I drove daily was a ZX10R, so it was years before driving this rig on the highway didn't feel like running underwater as it is.

 

Yea I believe you could order your truck with 3:73's.
Are any of yous running 5k springs in your rigs?

I still have the yellow sheet from the original owner, it would... probably... say on there. Since it had a breakdown of the costs of the other options. Like the Cummins, which he paid more to upgrade to than I paid for the truck

Huh. I'm not sure where it went now. I did find where he paid $699 for a "Auto Armor lifetime no rust guarantee". LOL. Wonder how many people ever got there money's worth out of that with these trucks...

 

Haha a hint of false advertising was there?

23-25 mpg with 35" tires? Wow, what am I doing wrong. I have 3.55's with 34" and at best 16-18 city/highway.

 

Fuel isn't what it was anymore either, at least not around here. Local folks I knew last year bragging about low to mid twenties are complaining that they can't get out of the teens anymore, all that's changed is the fuel. Water it down with more bullshit, and charge us more for it. Quite a racket...
