I run a old 95 3500 dually with the 96 6 speed case
2wd... works great pulling my 43' enclosed.... it
has a 4.10 gear with the tallest tire I can get...
still wish I had 1 more gear to keep the revs at 1900
My 2wd can get stuck pretty easy so the 4wd would help
that but the 4wd burns more fuel(more weight and drag)
let me get this straight.you have a 95 truck with a 96 6 speed case? i didnt think you could get a 6 speed untill 2001?.if so how hard was it to change out.i love my 95 two wheel drive 3500 dually.but it really needs a six speed trans and im dumb enough to spend the money to convert to a 6 speed.lol!.

Lets just say one fell into my lap and it was a
straight swap.... a friend owed me a favor and he
put it in(I didnt have a hoist at the time) but they
did come out with them in 96... its the best case,
very beefy

2004 4X4 Daully 6 speed.4.10 gear.Top speed 91 mph gross weight 23,000.From my house to Columbus I ony shift to 5th one time on the 470 bypass at Wheeling WV top it at 62mph cross the bridge into Ohio at top speed and it carrys me to the top of the hill at St Clairsville,the rest of the way we hold it at 75 to 80 mph.We have made the trip adveraging 2 hours some times less.   I wish We had gotten the 3.73 gears 
On these trucks the only ones that should be spec'ing a 4.10 is the people using them for mason dumps and the like. They just don't need that much gear.
