With all the gas prices going out of this world I have been thinking about transplanting a 5.3L/4l60e in it.

New subs claim they are getting 20 mpg. My wifes 02 was rated at 17 mpg.

Anybody know what the difference is? Programming? Rear gear?
We have an 03 and it will get almost 20 mpg on the hwy (93 octane and hypertech tuner). Are you sure about the weight of your suburban, I was thinking it was close to 6K? I'm putting a 06 5.3/4L6E in my 69 Burb. I hope it gets close to the same mileage. I think the new Suburbans are rated higher because of the DOD (displacement on demand).
