why would you ask a question about sensitivity and then get bent out of shape when the response is given?
also, keep in mind that trucks usually have large profile tires, and short ratio differentials resulting in much lower speed internals in the diff gearing.

our little IRS diffs, and 2.88 or even the 3.69 in the 240 are pretty tall with the little 14" tires!
