Ok guy's, forgive me for being slightly ignorant when it comes to mechanical workings and gears. I'm looking at the 07 2500 with a 6 speed auto...Mostly for everyday driving, very little real towing the gears are:
Gear Ratios
1st ---- 3.231
2nd ---- 1.837
3rd ---- 1.410
4th ---- 1.0
5th ---- 0.816
6th ---- 0.625
Reverse ---- 4.444
Overall Top Gear Ratio ---- 2.33 with 3.73 axle ratio; 2.56 with 4.10 axle ratio
so which axle is going to do better for highway milage? I'm assuming the 3.73, but I'm not quite finding the answer as to why. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks.
