i have not. debating it. the truck pulls fine, i can still chirp tires, and just did a 8 hour road trip with 4 passengers and the truck is still great on the highway. i cant remember my factory gearing (3.08 or 3.42, lost window sticker), so i cant do the calculation to correct distance traveled to get my MPG, but honestly i dont see a need to regear, unless it could be done to the extreme of allowing it to go back into 4cyl mode on the highway; which i highly doubt.

 

i would regear for MPG but then when you take the cost of doing a regear, and do the math for the gas savings, it would probably take too long to make it an overall financial savings to be worthwhile, unless it increased MPG a ton.

My truck was a factory turd with 3.08s.  My 35s sucked has mileagebso bad on the highway I said screw it.  4.10s and I’m getting better mileage city and highway.  And my trans temps aren’t has high from putting so much strain on the power train to push the bigger wheel tire combo.  37s on 3.08s I’d be dropping it off as fast as I could.
