I find it rather interesting that the other trucks are running 3:73 rear ends but the Dodge is a 4:10 I would think that all things being equal that the accounting for speed difference would be that the dodge is turning a few more rpm to get to the same speed. At what rpm would it fall out of the power band? Also when comparing, why did they not use a dodge with an automatic. Interesting how they kind of stacked the deck.

I smell sponsors. This is not a controlled test in any sense of the word.
