Clev -
So far, thanks to a massive fuel leak, it cost me nearly $40 to go 125 miles. That's really bad, if ya ask me... LOL.
I was playing around a bit today (the truck still isn't legally inspected, so I keep it to back roads and such), and found that it's actually very easy to take off in 2nd gear with the 3.55 rears. And the more I drive it, the more I realize that I just don't like how short 1st gear is. I'm drooling waiting for the 3.08 rears, but I'm still not sure that the 8.8" I have on the other truck is actually a 3.08, since the rear was changed at some point in the past.
Guess we'll see?
