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. >>
If you live in anything but level country then go the 3.92, the gas milage
will probably be better for the most part, not worse. I have the 3.90 in my
93 Dak and get 14 - 16 townish lead foot driving and up to 19.5 highway with
the air on. The engine runs with less lugging on all those hills and requires
less shifting. Mine is a auto and there is a big difference in how much it
shifts compared to others with 3.55 and higher.
My 2 cents
