#1 of 2 2002 Dodge 3500 van axle ratio by dodge3500

I posted this in the Ram truck page by accident yesterday...
----------------------------------------------------------
 
I just bought a '02 3500 5.9L V8 1-ton extended van in which to transport equipment. I just realized, after the fact, that the rear axle ratio is 4.10. Is this going to hurt me in gas mileage? Most of my driving will be on the highway. If so, how much? Would it make sense to try and swap out the axles or gears in order to get better gas mileage? I am not planning on pulling a trailer with it at all.
