[QUOTE="mandkole, post: 1264651, member: 4630"] ^^ Jason lol -- but you speak the truth... too much conversation is spent on trucks not doing truck work. Yup, get it--Ive said the same thing. I doubt the gear will be changed, but may need to go back to a 32-33" tire. The charger is another possibility, but gonna tune on this one first. Im fine with backshifting to 3rd and running some grades at higher rpm, but was surprised at how the EGTs jumped after the trans efficiency improved. The tow file may need some fuel taken out and shifting strategy adjusted. We talk about it, but anyone wanting a bigger single that tows decent loads needs to think about this stuff. 42 works good on the street EMPTY--in fact, its way fun. We have elevation changes and traffic around here that catch you off boost all the time. The 96 2wd stocker with 4.10s would tow circles around this truck with ease. No whining about it (I understood and made the decisions), but to help inform and gather other thoughts/ideas. What to do to fix it... For now, the trip to Boise in two weeks will be done with the shorter tires. Then need to look at the long term plan. [/QUOTE]
