Hi Wookie... Welcome to the DML.

I hear you on the gears. We just recently swapped the gears in our '01 from
the 3.55 to the 3.90's and boy do I notice the difference. I'm still
kicking myself for not ordering them in the first place, but live and learn.
I guess we never thought we'd be buying and RV and didn't give it a lot of
forethought. I haven't noticed much of a difference in gas mileage but I
think she's happier :-)

Again... welcome to the list.
