Very expensive...you will have to do both diffs plus you are going to lose milage. You should have no trouble pumping up the HP if you want it to "get up and go"

Yeah, I'm not sure what it would be like on your truck, but on mine I wouldn't go from a 3.73 to a 4.10 unless I was running 37's or larger.

if you dont have enough speed or power just add fuel and air then with the 354 you still get great milage
