REAR AXLE 3:73 4:10 need your advices

[RebelThunder]

Am I missing something or is there one question that is getting over looked?

If you are talking about Diesels, there is a very good chance it will have a 6L90 (assuming you go GM). In that case with the power of a Diesel and a 6 speed tranny 3.73's will do more than you want them to.

Since you are coming from a 1500, I think 3.73s paired with a Diesel will make you feel like you are in a Semi compared to your 5.3.

3.73s should be more than enough with the torque of the diesel.

+1

Leave the 3.73's in there.

Thanks guys, I will carry sometimes the slide-camper and never tow.
My 1500 had the 6,0L with 3:73 rear axle and it was well, in mountains too, except the mpg with gas prices here !!
I think I will go to 3:73 with diesel which is cheaper than gas in Europe (actually in France diesel 1 euro/liter and gas 95 1,24 euros !!).
Gm if I find a good price, but they are very expensive !!! F350 et ram 3500 are cheaper for the same level.

Good luck in the search for the new truck and when you get it we would like some pics.

If you aren't 100% on a Duramax, keep an eye for a Cummins as well. Those are solid motors, but get the 6 speed manual if you go this route.

manual , I had a lot (European standard) when I was young (it was a long time ), now finish manual, my arm is tired , but I keep 2 eyes on Cummins, very reliable engine on poor truck

Does Chrysler offer the lifetime powertrain warranty over there too?

The AT behind the Cummins has been pretty solid for the past few years, I wouldn't worry about it.
