Good to hear! I'm starting to think about my next truck and I'm kicking around either a 6.7 powerstroke or eco, either would get a 6" lift and 35's, so I was curious how the power and mpg was with an eco and 3.73's turning 35's

I went from averaging about 17 to about 15 so not that bad of a difference. I don't drive it much so gas mileage isn't that big of deal to me.

Do you realize how much more stress you will be putting on you're truck when you put that size tire/wheel setup on? Hope this is not you're DD.

If he has the money for 40s and a lift to clear them I honestly don't think he's concerned about his wheel bearings and the EB engine will handle them with no problem. Just saying..

If I didn't need one as a daily driver I'd be running as big as I could go too lol. Mine would still need to be a little bit practical
