it says "41" ill do a search to see if i can find what that is..

found it, says i have a 3.27 so really cant get too much better for highway driving, but it does explain why my city mileage sucks so bad, and why from a takeoff it feels like its sluggish...

i know how it feels...i have the same with 31" tires hehe. Not for long though 5.13's going in with the new axles!

i wish i had a 4x4 though, but i bought the ex for 1500 so i guess i cant complain lol.
