did you have 3.55's or 3.73's stock? normally one gear change is so slight, it's rarely worth the cost. If you're final trans ratio is .70 to 1 (no idea on the 01's but the 04-08's were that. if so, you'll be at 1992 rpms at 65 mpg where 4.10's would be 1790. personally i don't think 1992 is terrible but to each their own
