Re: gas mileage

2005 2500HD 6.0 4L80E NP263HD 4x4 4.10 axles and 265/70R17 tires. 12 rural 2-lane 14 interstate.
3.73 would definitely give me better mileage but the 1" larger tires help some.

The 8.1L with 4x4 and 4.10 axles along with stock 245/75R16 tires will not do well on fuel. I'd expect 8-10 city and maybe 10-12 highway if you're lucky. It'll pull like an ox team tho.

RTFM... GM Parts Books, GM Schematics, GM service manuals, and GM training materials...Please include at least the year and model in your threads. It'll be easier to answer your questions.
And please let us know if and how your repairs were successful.
