well with 37"s i think it'll help a lot, especially in town. I must say it was still good with 3.73's but this will be great. especially pulling my toyhauler.

NO it will not reduce your MPG. I have 37's with the same ratio, ESPECIALLY PULLING YOUR TOYHAULER.

I love it.......the perfect combo IMO.

In town and in stop and go type traffic it will help with mpg because it has to work less, but on the interstate is another matter unless you change your driving habits accordingly or you have favorable conditions to help the truck along at a higher rate of speed.

im just happy about how much easier it'll pull my camper. it'll be like night and day im sure. and as for fuel economy, i usually dont pay for diesel so i'm not to worried about that. and if i gotta drop 10 km/h off my highway cruising speed then thats fine with me.
