Gear ratio 3.42.
Wheelbase 220
Eaton 10 speed

If you are pulling light freight, under say 25,000 in flat terrain, the 3:42 are not that bad. But, pulling any weight, and in hilly or mountainous regions, that truck will fall flat on its face. I have 3:42 gears, run Detroit to Chicago with little to any weight with an 18 speed, and trust me, there are times I use darn near all of those gears. One of these days a set of 3:55 or 3:75 gears are going in, right now, cannot justify it.
