towing with a silverado 6 speed
Was wondering if any one tows in 4th gear with 3.73 gears and if so is gas mileage better or worse. This is with a gas engine.

Get a ScanGauge. It can monitor actual gas mileage while your driving so you can compare on the fly. I forget how many things you can monitor, something more than 25. It's accurate too. I love mine.
I have the 6 speed gas but with 4.10's. My 5er has a 13,500 lb gross but I'm around 12,000 normally. I was always letting off the gas so the tranny would shift but the electronics would still hold it down. I've just quit using the tow haul mode and get along a lot better. Most of the time on a hill I'll slip into Manual mode to hold the climbing gear of choice, until I top out.

With the scan guage in GPH mode(gal per hour) you can tell in a hurry
how much fuel you are useing
