    sure - if you don't have a broad power band with a high redline, if your engine already has a lot of torque, or if you cruise a lot on the freeway - you don't want a high ratio for that.

        fuel mileage or top speed is what a lower ratio is good for, higher rates are for more grunt out of lower out put power plants or for adding torque

          Unless you have completely rebuilt 4.10 front and rear diffs sitting in front of you, just rebuild the 3.91.
