I don't plan on any heavy offroading, a little dirt road/light mudrunning from time to time. I mainly want it for looks, and the occasional car show/cruise night. This is my main form of transportation, and I don't want to have it too wild. Thanks for the info, and comments.

I'm not sure on the gears. I haven't had time to look at the sticker in the glove box. What is the code for which gear ratio? I plan on looking through all of it this weekend. I know I stood on it from a stand still once this afternoon and the rear just stepped to the left before I let off. If it helps, at 75 mph i'm turning around 1900-2000 RPM's.

I wish I was starting a cam thread, maybe someday. For now, I'll keep it simple.

Well hell. It still seems to get to 60 pretty quick, and the run from 50 on up is strong. I guess if I go to 33's or 35's, I'll switch to 4.10's. For now, I'm enjoying my new truck. I guess the extra horsepower, and the not using any of it to turn a fan(I have factory e-fans) balances the high gears.

I have a list of wanted mods growing by the hour. Reading some of the stuff on here, and watching the vids of some of the other trucks isn't helping that list get any smaller either.
