i have read several times on this forum there is no difference in mpg between the two gear ratios (4.10 &amp; 3.73). The 410 keeps the cummins in its sweet spot 2200-2500 at most highway speeds. I turn 2300 at 70. The adavantage of the 3.73 to me would be less engine noise at high speed and the ability to go faster. Ifyou drive over 75 a lot and dont pull much or pull heavy then the 3.73 would be better. i personally drive 70 maybe 75 max. i pull heavy loads occasisonally and would rather have too much gear than too little. I recommend the 4.10. Its not too much gear and the mpg is the same. You have that extra pulling power if you need it.

I will give you .50 on the dollar for the junk Dodge and allow you to lease that new Ford with a clear conscience. PK

If I wanted speeds faster, I guess I would look at sports cars.<br>Thank you very much<br>Dan

Dodgeclown,
One more post with your VIN before you quit posting please. Then we can all call DC customer service and help you get some satisfaction. That's the least all of your fellow Dodge owner brothers can do.
