The bennies of the 4.10's wouldn't be felt above say, 50 anyway, right?
Too bad you don't have vids of both from a dig...
BTW- I'm still on the fance about mine, so I'm using you as a guinea (sp) pig.

The truck is way better cruising in 4th. There's a significant more amount of torque available from the 6.0 at 2000rpm versus 1500 rpm. I also feel like I could have gone with 4.56 given that I have 31.4" tires. With stock height tires, 4.10s will absolutely rip. Like I said, the truck is much more responsive around town. The pedal isn't sloppy anymore and it pulls like a **** on a downshift. But, if you don't have $1000 laying around, I wouldn't worry about the swap. You can still go fast on 3.42s. Best advice is just to get 4.10s from the factory, lol.

Well, I have the gears and true-trac sitting in the pile of parts I've collected over the last few months. Now, I just need the install kit and labor to install and I'm done. So, I'm half way there...

The only thing I don't like about my 4.11s is that my 2nd gear is too short and my 3rd gear doesn't pull as hard.
And with this stall, 1st gear is practically useless at WOT. But driving around town and just trying to get around quickly is better with the 4.11s vs the 3.42s
