Never heard of 3:92's.........but no you would notice much if any. Now if you dropped from 4.10's to the usual stock 3.54's then yeah, you'd notice a pretty healthy difference.

You would for sure see a difference if you switched from 4.10 to 3.54, especially towing. You would be lower in the tach, but in comparison it would feel like the truck is straining to keep a load moving in the higher gears.

I had 3.92s in my previous vehicle a '97 dakota 5-speed 4x4 318 Club Cab...good gear for that little 318 to pull stuff.....but its nothing...and I mean absolutly NOTHING when compared to my current truck.

I cant believe I thought my dakota was powerful
