    Post number 1 you say a 9 speed. Post number 11 is now a 13 speed, or to be accurate the 9 speed converted to a 13. you do the conversion from post 2-10?

    Swap or convert the nine speed for a thirteen speed. Keep the 3.70s they will pay off in the hills. The cat will not get you that much more if any mpg but it will make you go faster and get up hills easier.

    Keep in mind, you've stretched it, and you're now dragging a sail in the wind with all the air that's slipping between the truck and trailer... If you've gotten it back up to 5.5, I don't think you're gonna get much better no matter what you do..
