Hi all a quick question about diff ratios. I am not sure what ratio my 42 1 1/2 ton chev truck has. It has a 4 speed manual trans, would a 2 speed diff help
I would like to get a little more highway speed.
Cheers Justin

No. 2 speeds axle is only slower in low. You won't get there any faster.
If you can get bigger tires like 825-20 might be the easiest option to gain a little.

Good Luck with your truck.
