Alan;

Don't get me wrong I like the 3.9, but for everyday driving the 3.55 would
be the more logical choice and it looks like a lot better for gas mileage.
First is about useless for everyday stop and go. I also live in a very
hilly area (not much level driving) and I have always order the deepest
gears I could get on a vehicle for this reason (0-60 times are always good
to). However with the new Dak being a 5.2L it would have compensated for
the higher 3.55's.

ps. the 3.92's are sure fun though, the truck seems to scream and I only
have 400 miles on it with no drive train mods.
