Dumb question: How can you tell what gears are in the wrecked truck?

You can get the vin and have it checked, some axles have it stamped on the cover, or you can turn the axle manually and coun thte turns then do the math.

Depends,... I just sold my 05 Hemi ram qd cab 4x4, When i first got it the thing was a rocket for a truck that size, Would blister the tires on it, Sold it 2 weeks ago with 26000 mls on it and wouldntevenbark them when ipulled out, couldnt belive how much power that eng, had lost,which i did drive the truck hard and pulled a few traylers, but nothing i hadnt done with my old chevy trucks,So i sold it to buy a 2000Z71 and well im home again,id bet my life that motor wouldnt make 100,000 miles,

Look in the glove box. there is a # that looks like a VIN. The last 3 digits are your rear end ratio.

ORIGINAL: smoke20

345 hp on the new dodge with the hemi, 0-60 7.9 sec, quarter mile in 16 at 85.9. As opposed to 5.3 slverado 0-60 8.5, quarter at 16.5 @85.9. Also the Hemi is 200 lbs heavier. This is all stock info from consumer reports. Also notice the silverado is gaining after it gets past the torque management crap, they have the same quarter mile speed.
I also would like to see my truck dynoed, but after the tune.
Wow, those are some sad #'s, lol! Anyway here are some real numbers you need to look out for.http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=119089
I've seen other reports somewhere and timeslips from other owners that say it's even faster than that.

That's not bad! I'm jealous of those numbers but my truck looks way better than that thing. It is also probably 1,500lbs. lighter so with a tune I'm sure I'll be right beside you.

No big deal, I will just make my truck faster. And it will last longer. Also those speed numbers are probably on a regular cab, 2wd.

Look at the title at the top of the page.
Full Test: 2007 Toyota Tundra Double Cab Limited 4x4
That's pretty darn good in my opinion. I'm still not gonna run out and buy one.
