You tuned for the gears already right?
Didn't watch the videos yet but figured I'd ask. I just got mine together today with 4.11's and speedometer is 10-15mph off depending on speed, according to my GPS.

Keep getting some kind of error when I try to change the Ratio in the tune.

yeah I got tuned for them. I have no clue about the tuning, wheatley does that for me. I really wouldn't drive the truck though if it wasn't tuned for the 4.10s. I ran the 4.10s on the 3.42 tune and it didn't feel like my truck was running right. It felt like it was pulling timing or something.

looks like the 3.42s pulled a little better to me.

The 4.10s hit a tad harder (higher rpm), but the 3.42s hold out much longer in 2nd. Overall I'm much happier with the 4.10s. All-around a much better gear for my setup.

If you watch the time, 50-100 takes ~11 seconds with the 4.10s and ~11-12second with the 3.42s. So honestly I really don't feel like I lost any highway pull.

4.11s will be great, trust me. It's a lot more fun around town. And seeing as how you have that nasty 2.48 first gear, I think you will really enjoy the 4.10s

I timed it again with an online stopwatch, the 4.10s are about 1/2 second faster than the 3.42s from 50 to 100. Of course, if I did the pull from 60 or 70mph (a more realistic highway speed) the 3.42s probably would have been a second or 2 faster.
