there are some changes going on around the .ORG and right now we need to be patient. some things may go away, but i cant say that for sure. it all depends on the admin. i know the admin are working to keep the .ORG like it has been, with some minor cosmetic changes. if you have any issues with how things are going or starting to look then let a mod know and we will pass it on to the admin. thanks!

What do you guys think of the tallers gears? Will the 3.55 really not affect towing performance on the 250. I think it's great that they are addressing the MPG issue. However I am frustrated that they don't seem going after the real reason that the MPGs are lower. They are bandaiding the emmission that are on the truck and possibly sacreficing towing capability.

personaly to spend 3000+ dollars on a gear swap to get 1 mpg better fuel economy isnt worth it. esp. in consideration of towing capability. It would probly decrease your fuel milage when towing

Doesn't seem to be the best solution out there. For me towing a 10k lb trailer daily wouldn't make me feel good about having 3.55 on the rear. Glad I have the 3.73. Even though my fuel mileage isn't bad at all. I am at 14.5mpg overall unloaded.
