Engine and trans oil cooler relocated.

Thats what I noticed also, but I drive so rarely on hills/mountains its a learning curve for me.
Pretty sure Im going 4:10s. Anyone recommend a brand to get. I think I have Yukon gears now they have held up well.

Time to Google up the gear ratio calculator thingy.

Rather than re-gear the rear, consider re-gearing the USG from Direct / over-drive to under-drive / Direct.

Source of RPM curves is http://www.gtsparkplugs.com/GearCalc.html

By moving the USG unit to an under-drive and keeping the 3.42's, it will put 4th-under in a good RPM range for cruising 55 - 70 mph for towing.

I tried to post the mph / rpm tables, but the 'spaces' were stripped out which made a mess of the tables :arghh:
 
I thought about that, but assumed the new gears to be hard to find? You know of any?
