I am contemplating s switch to Cummins and was playing around on the Ram website's "build & price" and noticed the rear axle gearing defaults to 3:42 and when trying to select one of the lower ratios, such as 3:7 or 4:10, those require a change of dropping the Cummins selection in favor of one of the Hemi motors. Any thoughts on this?

In order to get the other gear options, I think you need to have a 3500 and duals. For whatever reason, Ram limits the 2500 & 3500 SRW vehicles to 3.42.

Wow I'm stumped.
I just tried it and I don't get it it wan't like that last week because I priced one out playing around with different options.

Yes, what bsboothe said. In 2500 and 3500 SRW 3.42's is the only option with the 13+ Cummins. I'm not sure why they've done that... but it is definitely a little disappointing. In order to get 3.73's or 4.10's you need a 3500 DRW.

Thank you all, good to know I was not missing something. If I decide to go the Cummins route, later this year if I do, the 3:42 gearing will not present a problem for my current needs.
