City, stop and go driving i cannot tell any difference, acceleration feels the same as with 33`s. The overdrive gears 7-8th the trans will jump between these gears at times, if this transmission was a six speed without the overdrive gears some would say the gearing is near perfect but having the two extra gears and not being able to fully utilize them shows that there is room for improvement. But overall i do not feel a rush to re-gear, i will when money permits. I will be adding my lift soon and this might want me to re-gear sooner.
Regarding MPG i would not have bought this truck if MPG was a concern, what i get just comes with the territory considering the truck and the mods i have done. According to the computer my MPG has not changed but i have not done any heavy hauling or towing yet.
LOL - thanks. I get it. You don't buy trucks in general, especially those more like a brick than a glider if you are overly concerned about MPG. And I have seen some talk of being at 14 or 15 and being fine with that. Was just curious.
IMO these things stock have fantastic acceleration. I never worry about needing to merge into fast oncoming traffic. It's got guts.
Anyway, that's helpful. Not that I plan anything soon, but like to absorb such information.
