Wide Ratio Gearing Option in Dodge 1500 & GM Full-size Light Trucks:

1 2 3 4 5 R
4.02 2.32 1.40 1.00 0.73 3.55
There was also a 3.49 2.16 1.40 1.00 0.73 version, and 0.73 was not the only od ratio used in these, 0.78 and 0.83 are both common.
These are slightly stronger than T5s, nowhere near as strong as T56s or NV4500s, and the 3.49 version is slightly stronger than the 4.02 version. Either one will fail above 500 HP.
