[QUOTE="SmokinM, post: 1770591, member: 21382"] I am about convinced the gear ratio in the trans has as much or more to do with power as the rears. That 550 has really shown that. I can take the same load, same hill, same gear and RPMs with my 350 as the 550. With the higher gear rear in my 350 I am just traveling faster. The power kill comes in being in the higher gear trans wise. That 550 doesn’t have more power it just moves slower. I can see why with the older 5 spd. trucks the low gear helps starting out but L gets rid of that when you get to the 6 spd. Same apllies in the auto trans. As they have added gears 1st. is quite a bit lower than before. [/QUOTE]
