monkey 44- thanks for the info. I am pretty sure your 2500 probably has a much high towing capacity that the suburban 2500. Suburban 2500 towing capacity is only 7700 believe it or not.
You are missing the point. The engine and drivetrain with the 3.73 gears can able to handle the total load which is all that matters. My only concern would be the 3.73 gears but if this person has been happy with them then I would take their word on it.
Myself I have always gone with 4.10 gears for any gas engine powered tow vehicle whether it was a truck or a SUV, but this has been with 4-speed transmissions. My current GM truck with its 6-speed Allision transmission has 4 underdrive and 2 overdrive gears and is very different from my vehicles with a 4-speed that had 3 underdrive and a 1:1 final drive with 4th gear.
