I tow a #7800 TT, and based only on posts I've read here, I may do better (power wise) in the montains etc with 4.11's - No?

Yes, but percentage wise, just how much of the time will you need this setup? ie, how do you use the truck when not pulling. I tow trailers with '99 PSD, 3.73, in OD, when the need arises in the mountians, I just downshift and go a littlet slower for a little while. Must work for me(789000 mi.) and still ticking.

WOW! More than three quarters of a million miles!

I wan't to buy your truck!

Seriously, it is a daily driver, but both my wife and I work from home and we don't run around that much, so a minor MPG drop might not be a big deal.

I'll know better after September when I'm going to tow thru the hills of southern Illinois and Kentucky.
