You will be fine 90% of the time with 3:73’s and the 6.2. Only time you will notice it is on long steep grades of 7% or more and it will pull them just fine, the 6.2 will just be wound up a little tighter than usual. A good friend drags around a 18k pound excavator with a 6.2 and it’s lasted over 250k miles and he has 3.73’s. His mpg loaded hovers between 6-7. Be careful as Lynwood implied most think you need nothing short of a F450 or Kodak to pull these 5ers. 4:30’s would kill any mileage and be overkill.
