    The 3.42 is a horrible ratio for a 2500. It puts way too much stress on the OD clutches. Good for fuel economy but bad for everything else. I'm glad Ram does 3.73 stock now

    Ah gotcha, yeah the NV5600 has a taller OD gear than the 68RFE so that coupled with a 3.73 is a tall setup. It's right on the money for the automatics though.

    I have 342's in my 03. It is a bit testy with 12K and 285's on hills. But the RPMs are much lower at highway. Without the MM3, I was getting 22 MPG.

    S & B intake, BD Intercooler, Pusher Air Horn, MM3 Double R Tuning, Turbo Timer, electric Flex-a-lite fans, FASS 95,
    50 HP tips, upgrade to 351 turbo, 3.42 gears, Twin air compressors, air bags, Remote dual oil filters, Hellwig sway bar, Front Winch. Home made Fuel Heater, BD Exhaust brake with Torque Lock. Tons of TLC
