Wagon, With my 4.10 I can do 65 mph. However, I don’t like to. It gets loud with both road noise and engine rpm. I quite like to cruise at about 55mph max. It’s fast enough and it's quiet enough. The engine hums along quite steadily and that speed isn’t a big safety concern for going too slowly on secondary highways. Plus, if the speed limit is 60 you hardly make much time by going 5-10 mph faster.😎 I’ve had people lined up behind me as I happily chug along at 55. Occasionally people might come ripping up but usually slow down as they pass because of the “old truck rubber neck” syndrome! Thumbs up ensue! You will notice and like the difference the gear makes.
The swap is as easy as the tech tips says. Have fun and enjoy!
