I thought I read some where the ratio on a stock axle was 4.11? Or maybe I am confusing it with the 3/4 ton truck. Thanks for the year range , I will call the junk yards on monday and see what I can find. Whats everyones thoughts on the best axle ratio for these trucks? I don't think I will ever change the tranny out on this truck. I may on occasion haul some weigh in the truck or pull a medium weight trailer. I understand you can't have the best of both worlds but would the 3.38 give you some decent torque or is it all for speed?

Thanks again
