Thanks everyone. This verifies that I do have a problem with my truck. I do have 235X85 tires and they bring my effective gearing down to 3:42 instead of the factory 3.73. Can't believer they are hurting me that much though. Those of you with the 6 speeds should use 5th when pulling your MS. It will actually hurt mpg. Engine won't have the rpms it needs to make the needed torque required to pull that much weight. It is great for empty though. Again, Thanks and God bless.
