I can not fathom anyone haveing a truck with 308 gears in the rear end. I guess they don't wish to haul a payload or even pull any weight over 1500-lbs. Those 342 are better but more suited to a half-ton pickup that doesn't haul much.
I will not purchase or drive a pickup truck that does not have 373 gears in the rearend! Now most of the guys I know that run gas rigs towing use 410 gears. My cousins diesel 4 x 4 uses those 373 and has plenty of pulling power. I run a V-10 gas rig 1-ton and I have 373 gears and pull 10,000 like it is not behind me on level ground.
