Back then, you said you had some back problems and and the meds were making you ... well... a little touchy? ... and you said that you were sorry but you had to take that into account when answering posts?

Well, sounds like you're back on your meds... might want to ask questions a little nicer. "Your kidding, right?" might come off as a little abrasive... just sayin.

I know you know what your talking about but lets try to keep this post civil.

Seriously, not trying to start anything... you know I like you!

If I am incorrect in what I stated earlier, someone please inliten me. I don't claim to be a master gear head but everything I have research on this topic has led me to this conclusion. And now I can feel the difference when I drive with the new gears, plus the truck computer is telling me that I am getting 2-3 mpg better than I was before. And yes I have reprogrammed it to the new gear ratio. Someone who knows better than I, please chime in. I'm on here to learn and give the best advice that I have

higher gear ratio = higher RPMs at any given speed = worse fuel economy

come on, I knew that in middle school
