I had to kick it in the a$$ a couple of times going up a few hills but never lost speed. I told my buddie that it was on for the trip home and he decided against it and probably a good thing because we bolth had the wifes and kids with and I think the truck could have done it but Im not shure I could have But this trip assured me that for the load I am working with this truck with the 3:73s will work for me!! I also feel a little funny about running the RPMs up to 4000 and above it just dont sound good but it did it fine the couple of times I did!
Thanks everyone

Keepin the 3:73s for now
I've bounced mine off the 5,250 rpm rev limiter more than a few times, I'm told it will run there all day. I guess it's just my brain that's not used to that many rpm. But she pulls like a champion when it's spinning doesn't it ?
