Re: Which axle 3.08 or 3.42?

Thanks for the info. I ordered the 3.08 yesterday. I may regret it. I figure I will have to use the manual mode to keep it from going into 6th at 40 MPH. I've looked for a repromgramer, but only found ones for 4 speeds. I ordered the 3.08 because it didn't make sense to have two extra gears on the low end. First in my truck is pleanty low enough now and the new one with a 3.08 will have an even lower first, so I figured the 3.08 is the way to go as the 3.42 will have a much lower first. I'll just have to use manual mode, but that may get old fast. Time will tell.
