Grit,
Have you driven a 4.3? Not a lot better mpg than a 5.3 ..... Still better.
You probably have 3.42. Other option I've seen is 3.08! Even at that with a 4.10 first in trans, you better off than my 2.48 in trans with 4.10s in pumpkins.

I have not. But one of our traffic control subs has a bunch of 4.3 Silvys. Their guys say they have plenty of power, but those trucks don't tow much more than an arrow board.
Fuel mileage is relative, most trucks I'm around are not used lightly or gently on the skinny pedal.
