It lives!! Still getting used to the bypasses...they are, well loud...makes you continuously think that some something is loose as shit, will definitely take some getting use to. The tires and wheels are mind blowing...Toyo MT's on trail readys...mounted them myself no balancing....and they're smooth as butter

You will be happy with the 4.56s. Will bring your drive ratio back to stock and keep the tranny protected. Plus the cummins gets the same economy at 2000 as it does at 2200

Was apprehensive about mounting the toyos myself and how they would ride....especially on the interstate with no weights or balancing. Finally took it out this morning....unbelievable, they're easily the smoothest riding tires I've ever driven on

A guy with a new power wagon told me the exact same thing about his Hutchinsons and 37" KM2's. Didnt add any weights or bb's and smooth as silk... almost hard to believe you guys!

Truck is looking damn good for a poser! :lol:

Well, IMO you are doing the right thing if you will utilize a diesel (or just want one). Its a lot more cost effective to try to make a cummins truck a pw than make a pw have a cummins. Or is it cummings....
