Boy I hope that's not the case. But if it is then so be it. This is a bit off topic, but would changing the rear gearing to maybe a 3.55 or something affect the drivabilty much? What I mean is this: I drive this truck a lot. My regular vehicle is a '17 RAM 2500 but I prefer the '52 and have been using it daily to and from work (round trip of almost 60 miles daily) and in stock form I cannot take it on the freeway. I also live where there are a lot of hills. I don't mind taking back roads but it would be nice to have the option. So my question is if i change the gearing would I be able to still get up hills (fairly steep, 2nd gear in current form) and have the option of an occasional 65 mph? I am not looking to change the transmission or anything. I apologize for my lack of experience in these matters. Thanks!
