alright! thanks lester....lol i dont realy want to pull anything , so the 3.42 sounds like what i need.....i wouldnt know what to do if my truck went 80 ive never got it over 60 without the engine sounding like its going to blow....lol ...thanks!

i recomend the 3.73......the 3.42 is gonna be a really high gear for that heavy of a truck. You will actually burn more fuel with a 3.42 because the motor is gonna have to work harder to get up to speed.....

WRONG!!!!!! Mine has a 10 bolt. But its a DANA 80 One of the largest rearends they make. Same as a 14 bolt but it has 10. Theres a good chance that yours will be the DANA 80 also.
