Hello all, came across this forum looking for info on changing my ratio on my 08 Sierra, 4.8 4x4 tow package with 4:10 from the factory have a fresh air intake and a programmer, my GCVW is 13k and am maxed with my trailer and fully loaded.
It tows pretty good am able to do 90kph/55mph on a fairly steep hill if I am up to speed going up the hill if I have to slow down I can keep it at around 60kph/35mph, I was thinking of going to 4:56 to increase the towing capacity, will cost around $2000 for front and rear.
Considering selling it and getting an 05/06 2500/3500 long box 6.0 just because I don't want make payments since my truck is paid for, the 2500/3500 gas is only 16k towing combined I'm thinking
