Hi Lynn,
Your absolutely correct with the axle ratio's. Many years ago, a friend of mine changed his 3/4 ton carryall ratios to 1/2 Ton spec axle ratio's, and it was a real b*tch to drive !, slightest incline and you were changing down, and you had to use 1st gear to pull away. My 3/4 ton Dodge retains it's factory spec ratios , and will sit happily at 45-50 mph all day, and still pull like a train up any incline, even leaving Series 3 Landy's behind.
Will continue to watch this thread with great interest
