Hey guys. Now that im just starting to tow more then ususal I really need to upgrade my gears. Im running ProComp 37x12.5R17 Xtreme ATs. True size im pretty sure is closer to 36. But not sure what gears to go with for the best towing on the interstate? 4.10? 4.56 too much? It seems that most forums would rave about 4.56 but I talked to a dealer just to get an idea on their price but he suggested 4.10s for highway use. I have a 30ft enclosed car hauler 10k capacity and just a small open 10ft open single axle to tow motorcycles and ATVs. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Side note. I have the Flex-a-lite fan setup in my truck. I have no issues unloaded but the slightest load and the coolant temp goes up. I have the ATS dual CPS kit and the upper rad hose is pretty high and makes me wonder if I have an air bubble? What are normal towing temps? Pretty level grade(across North Dakota on I94).
Thanks for any possible help.
