HO 3.73 vs 4.1?

[darrellr]

Complete opposite. Shorter gears, 4.10 for Ram, will pull better.

Yes, thank you, corrected. Getting late here. Sorry.

Guys it’s math. Rear end gear matters. Doesn’t matter if you include the transmission or not.

You can do
4.10:1 / 3.73.1 = 1.099 or 9.9% difference
Or
You can do (using 3.75 HO aisin 1st)
3.75 1st gear x 4.10 = 15.375:1
3.75 1st gear x 3.73 = 13.9875:1
15.375:1 / 13.9875:1 = 1.099 or 9.9% difference.

4.10s are about 10% better at moving a heavy load than 3.73s.

Does it matter when you have 1000lb/ft? Are you near max tow?

Just put it in tow haul, slow down and pull the trailer.

Get out of here with your common sense math.

You probably think running a doubler or low gear ratios even matter for rock crawling.
