With 4.10's on my truck, I can cruise at 70 ALL DAY at only 2500rpm. The
3.92's are more than adequate for your Dakota.

Sam,
Are you saying that the 3.92's are going to limit the top speed THAT MUCH
when towing? And how about regular highway driving with the 3.92's? I'd
really like to be able to cruise at 70-75 on regular highway trips(not
towing anything), so are the 3.92's right for me?
Thanks in advance again,

Frank WJ
