If all you are running is flat land, you might pick up a mile or 2 per gallon going down to 3.54 rear gears. But I don"t think the fuel savings will justify the expense of changing over 2 carriers and 2 gear sets. I have 2 identicle Dodge cummins 4x4 duallies,one with 3.55 gears and the other with 4.10"s.Towing the same load the 3.55 geared truck actually gets about 2 MPG less than the 4.10 truck,and only about 1.5-2 MPG better running empty. Most of my towing is in somewhat hilly country,so your results may vary.
