yeeehawww
yeeehawww
I read the original info before but was bored and looking for some entertainment before bed last night and this thread did not disappointIts been fun reading for a while. Did you just find it?
the one and only truth. Thank you oh wise oneIt's a great thread. Ssooooo much good information after the first page of posts. Hopefully in reading through it you have gleaned valuable knowledge.
In a nutshell, those that have 3:21 gears realize that the truck is anemic and are covering for thier regret by swearing the only factor in gas milage is rpm. By believing this farce they convince themselves that they get great mileage. Since thier daily driver is a 4 cylinder minivan they think they have power now to.
The guys with 3:92 geared trucks know they made the right choice because they understand trucks. They put on larger tires and know what milage to expect from a V8.
Simple.
Which begs the question:imho, the real decision is open vs. lsd vs. locking
As far as I know, LSD can apply power to a wheel to give you extra traction because the other wheel is slipping. Traction control can apply braking to said spinning wheel to stop it from digging you in. So they can both do something at the same time.Which begs the question:
Isn't LSD and traction control kind of redundant anymore?
I can see before traction control existed the huge advantage of LSD, but what's the point of a LSD with traction control? Isn't the 'computer' figuring out which wheel to give power to?
After reading your last two posts I feel I have not choice but to hop in my anemic 3.21 geared Ram and go "Thelma and Louise" myself off a cliff. Before I go I'll just post one last parting shot.Yea, if you read the hundreds of posts, you will find some 3:21 guys who brag they get better milage than a Tesla or at least a Prius. Many think milage has only to do with mathematic equations depicting rpm with no reguard given to how hard the motor works to maintain those rpms.
Drive a smaller motor and this becomes even more apparent. Go on the jeep forums a bit and you will see guys going up to crazy 4.56 and up seeing milage improve because the motor is not lugging along to try and keep up when they put real tires on.
But you know, some just have to justify their decisions, even when wrong.
I'll have to take a pic of mine coming down from the Fernan Saddle...99.9 mpg.After reading your last two posts I feel I have not choice but to hop in my anemic 3.21 geared Ram and go "Thelma and Louise" myself off a cliff. Before I go I'll just post one last parting shot.
Bro you should swap out for that new 10 gallon fuel tank, get some payload back.After reading your last two posts I feel I have not choice but to hop in my anemic 3.21 geared Ram and go "Thelma and Louise" myself off a cliff. Before I go I'll just post one last parting shot.
I think I will just trade in the truck and buy a minivanYea, if you read the hundreds of posts, you will find some 3:21 guys who brag they get better milage than a Tesla or at least a Prius.

Great entertainment on this forum. Debating on trading in Suv for a 19 ram limited that checks all my box's. It does have 3.92 and for me would rather have the 3.21 as I drive 95% hwy and lot of miles. As I've been looking at these its hard enough and so far almost every 19 or 20 ram I look at has the 3.92 gears. MPG is almost impossible to get on. The truck I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on is about 8 hour drive away. I've driven both 3.21 and 3.92 and best I could do in short highway run about 20 miles was 18 and that was 3.92. What could I realistically expect on a day to day driving highway 3.92 or should I wait to find a 3.21.
Purchased and worn by the guy with 3:21 gears and a 2wd. Just a minivan with a bed on the Back!Got me dem 3.92 gears to hide my little pee pee, got this cool shirt with ma gears tho
