Hello all, As you can see from my subject line, I'm contemplating making a change from my 2005 GMC Yukon XL Denali to a 2004 Chevy Suburban (2500). I'm looking for some real world comparisons ...

Late to the party, but I periodically keep track of my fuel mileage here: FUELLY I'll post up my glovebox sticker with the codes, too. I actually found that helpful - thanks, BurbMan! I also found, after having the Sub in at the dealership, that it's got a 3.73 axle ratio, so... I am going to find out what the cost would be to upgrade the gears to 4.10.
Thanks for the info. That's funny that you're looking into 4.10 gears. Any reason why? I'm getting one delivered tomorrow or the next day that has 4.10 gears in it, with the 8.1 and I feel like it's going to be more than I need. Maybe you're pulling a much heavier camper? Too bad we don't live closer together. We could either swap suburbans or just swap axles, as I think I'd rather have the 3.73's! :-)
