myawdsst Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hello Guys. My truck is my for every day driver. I live in Ga and work in Va. I drive home two to three time a month. So you can see the gas mileage is what I am looking for. The truck is supercharged with ram air. Anyone have any ideas.

The_aSSet Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) 3.73 I always thought would be nice in an awd SS. Edited September 1, 2012 by The_aSSet (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GI.SS Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 i have 3.73's i like them. I have made many trips from NC to NJ and average about a tank and a 1/4 in the 7-8hrs of driving. but there are numerous things you can do to pick up fuel mileage, theres always maintenance. these things werent made to get good gas mileage. maby buy a bike or honda for the fuel mileage...

ric Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 3.73s would be nice, dont know how they would act up on awd but it'll help, worth the try. 3.42s are too small in my oppinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsniper3006 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 figure its 2 grand ish to do the swap, what is your return on investment if you do get 2 mpg better? and are you willing to wait that long to get that return?(i have no idea what it is, just asking the question). If you decide to change directions and go for performance, are you willing to work around the gears or will you change back? Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
