I feel that you all might be missing the point I was getting at.
The lower the ratio (numerically larger difference) the more relative acceleration and throttle responce, aka felt torque, you will have.
Flipped the other way, you will have less felt power and increased fuel economy which can be exacerbated by not adjusting the tire size to speedometer relationship. If the computer still thinks the tires are short (relatively speaking) the revolutions per mile would be off by a lot leading to crazy phantom economy gains. But the computer needs that data to be spot on so it can inform the pcm about what to do.
Now I am not doubting that the diesel package is making the torque to haul the freight but I would recomend regearing ti get the snap back, sometimes you need to make horsepower not just torque.
