Dude he has a 6.0 and 3;73's... Its bad enough he gets 2 mpg...
Dont change rear gears... Just ride in 4th gear with that load as I stated above in my post...Use tow haul mode!!! Its that little button on the shifter handle..
I guess no one read my post and just reply for the heck of it..

What rear gearing? That is a pretty good load for the Burb. 3000 rpm is not out of line for the 6.0, it makes its best power around 4500.
Do you have tow/haul mode?

Help??
While this may have been covered to some extent on this forum or another, I'm looking for suggestions for my 2012 Suburban 2500 with the 6.0l engine.
Towing my boat(04 Nautique) it's awesome. Hardly know the boat is there.
However, when hauling our 30ft camper it's a different story. Camper weighs 6900lbs empty. Fully loaded it's probably close to 8000 not including wife, 3 kids, dog and misc stuff in the truck. Can't keep it 60-65 without it searching for a gear it "likes". I usually downshift manually but tach is constantly at 3k.
What to do? Love the truck. Kids are happy in back and plenty of space. Called a couple shops.
1 suggestion was to modify computer?
2 suggested cold air intake, tuner, & exhaust?
Does any of it work??
There's got to be something I can do. Slowing down only makes me feel like a traffic hazard. Would like to be able to pull at least 65 mph on the highway....
