Re: Need opinions on trailer towing with 3.08 vs. 3.42 gears.
Dave: Excellant in explaining the above. The only thing I do no understand completely is that with my setup the transmission will always be in a lower gear then with the 3.73 setup. eg.: At a given speed I might be in 3 gear (transmission) and the other setup would be in 4 gear. And to confuse matters with these newer 6 speeds the last two gears are "overdrive" gears. Would not my setup stay in 4 gear when the setup is trying to get in overdrive? Also what I don't understand is when the top driving speed is achieved (Say 55 MPH) little torque is required. Is there that much difference in wear/tear for one gear?? Larry
