I changed the SD from 3.07 to 2.88 and I really enjoy it. It's smooth and quiet at 3000 rpm at 70 mph. Typically, as a roadcar in the NE, 70 mph is the practical limit. I certainly could not consider switching to a 2.47 at this point because the vehicle is up against all it can possibly do to climb a decent hill at 65 mph. I really am not into downshifting into 3rd to make a hill on the open highway.
