Might want to put the ENGINEER's part in Fine Print.There is a very detailed look at gear ratios and transmission output ratios in another RAM forum you may find interesting and informative to read. The meat is in the first post of the thread. Look for a thread titled;
An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio
in the 5th GEN general discussion at 5thgenrams dot com
Got pretty high opinions of lots of Engineers.
There's Locomotive Engineers, Sanitation Engineers, etc.
Then there's the Idiots that designed this junk to start with and those fools I do trust , whatsoever.
OP,
4.10 is not a highway speed, towing gear, period.
3.73, even a 3.92 will get you there. 3.73 being preferable but 3.92 will do it too, just at higher RPM's and crappy fuel economy.
3.21 will even do the job. Mostly. but I don't want one.
All you other guys, with 3.21's, glad it makes you happy.
Truly.
The tranny does help
ALOT
but as with any chain, it's the weakest link.
Decide what works, for you.
Long Distance Runner
Power Lifter who also does Cardio
or the great big, fat SOB, who hardly ever needs to move, always moves slowly when he does move
but ever grabs a hold of something, its game over.
I'd suggest 5.7 Hemi with a 3.92
or 2500 6.4 hemi with a 3.73
