My truck has the 3.42 gears and with 33's and a basically stock TBI it's a dog. The next mod I want to do is gears, but with it parked next to my F250 on 35's I keep thinking about going with those in the future. The truck is never used for towing, does see some off road use, very little highway (which may change in the future but I'd never cruise much past 70 anyways) and mostly does daily driver duties. I'm trying to decide if I want to go with 4.56 or 4.88, but I know it's a pretty small difference anyways.
