I agree! LOL. I will say this and I will leave it alone. If I had to change the rear out to a 4.11+ just to keep up with an auto, why bother? Like I said earlier, I damn sure wouldnt want to cruise around with a 4.11+ gear today with gas as high as it is.....I would rather put it in drive, turn on the AC, and sit back and cruise. But hey, Im happy with my automatic!
