I have heard this from more than one person, but when I checked my option
sheet sticker under the hood, I show the 8 3/4 rear end, with Limited Slip
(SureGrip), and I'm almost positive it mentions something about 3.21 rear
end ratio... Maybe you could check your option sheet and see what's the
same/different?? May I should <gag> call my dealer??

Yep, I did look in there, that was where I got the 7800# limitation for
vehicle+trailer+cargo, etc. Just wanted to be sure so when I get my hitch
installed, I know what the limitations are. Thanks for the info!!
Ciao!
