I have the 3.92 w/ Suregrip. I'm sure if I was to pull a boat/ trailer, and
I shut off the OD, I could pull it all day long with no problem. The problem
I have is at lower rpm's going down the highway and I push down on the go
peddle, not slamming it down, just a gradual push, the truck reacts very
sluggishly. Now, if I romp on it, it downshifts like a mother, and sounds
really good, but it still doesn't seem to haul like I imagined it would. I
really need to get to a dyno or use the g-tech. I think I may have made the
truck sound faster, but go slower.
