Sigh... do you realize what you just said? I am no math magician but you will get go faster with less engine speed with a the 3.07 ratio vs the stock 3.90 ."

If I can get 15 MPH more with gears and same RPM I think this would be nice. "
You can't (not even remotely close). The vast majority report no notable increase in mileage. There are a few claims of "improved" mileage into the teens, but there has been zero ECU data to support it (along with proof that the speedo was properly recalibrated). If nine owners with 3.07 all say mileage did not change and *one* owner says it tripled, then in all likelihood you will see zero change.

Just keep in mind that surplus pumpkin chunks were being sold by the truckload for $80 ea and the only reason they are rare (supply and demand) is that a couple people out there purchased them all up to *create* the supply and demand rarity. Of note is that when regearing the rear axels on a semi, the parts cost is about $1300 per axel.

I could have also bought gold and sliver cheaper once... What type of comment is that... Do you have any idea how much it cost to run my time machine? Even going back 20 years with my time machine to buy stocks and gold cheap and bring them back to sell isn't enought to cover the operating costs.
So 2600 in parts for gears... you do not add in labor...
May I ask do you have the 3.07 gears installed?
