Power will increase on a dyno a little bit when I swap to the 3.73's.

Awe whats 1500 bux, you don't get nowhere without trying!

Yea, I know, 1500 bux is 1500 bux any way one looks at it.

Not dissin or anything like that ... But Dyno numbers are useless on a Diesel IMNSHO, to short of pulls.

IMNSHO The real test is a mountain with a load.
Many people can get big power from a diesel for a short period of time, can it do it all day long with a load, that to me is the real deal.

-Enjoy

x2 with what festus says....i know that big numbers cause lots of stir-up and they do show the evidence for what ppl claim...but can it hold up against a mountain pass that is 6-12 miles long and 7% grade the entire way up???
