I have the standard 4.10 gears. I think the manual tranny helps with the fuel mileage however. My company has nothing but diesels (almost all cummins) but I really think this truck is a better unit (overall) than the dodges. I am in ranching and I work the snot out of trucks. This truck is due for surgery in about 2 months (out comes the V10 and in goes a commonrail cummins) but I am actually pretty darn impressed with this V10. It scoots this truck around like nothing and I have been getting in the mid to high 15's pretty reliably on the highway and it is dropping to about mid to high 12's when I mix up city driving. Not too shabby. It gets as good a mileage as most of our newer Ford diesels. Now pulling a heavy load is a whole different story. The diesels win hands down. The pre-emissions diesels that is....
