Those who have them, what do you think of your 3.07's in a 5 speed truck?

Granted, it was a 2wd, so wind resistance isnt quite as big a factor, but I think rbrettctd has seen 25+ with his 3.07/ Getrag combo, when he only got 19-21 with the auto. Bookshelf- try driving 52-55 for a trip and see if you get a big jump in MPG. If so, it may be worth a shot at the 3.07s. If you only see 1 or 2 mpg, maybe not.

That 3.07/ getrag combo in a 2wd would step the MPG up the next notch. Having the truck lower to the ground and the lesser weight would give you even more of an advantage. With what my truck does I could see breaking 25mpg.
