4.56 gears on the way

[walnuts4x4]

yeah I would love gears.... I can get 12.5mpg out of mine with the 3.73 but would like a little more especially towing my boat... just don't have the extra cash laying around...

I really don't. On the freeway I get in the second to left lane and set the cruise control to 65 or 70. So idk why it's that bad. I know I need a fuel filter and to clean the throttle body and maybe do some other stuff to help. Like get an edge. Haha

I was at 11.1 before my fuel filter went. Now its a 11.7 lol. I dont think the edge will really help that much either. Gears is the way to go but I was quote close to $1000 for everything (2wd) included a rebuild kit bc of the year of the truck...

btw my EL comes with 3.73's from factory and with the 33's this thing is a pig man, I wanna get like 4.30's

edge will help mpgs.. mine went from low 11s to mid 12s after install

ehhh I think alot of it has to do with driving habits too. If your getting an edge for gas mileage, your automaticaly gonna be driving with a soft foot.

 

[walnuts4x4]

not really... I didn't change driving habits except maybe drive a little harder now with the better shift points and harder acceleration

 

[panda24619]

with an edge i think i would get worce mileage. i would not be able to keep out of it. haha what ever. its all good. edge is on my list just not top.

Yea ive got a superchip in mine, i had to run it on performance mode before i broke my rearend to compensate for the 3.55s, but now once i get my truck back i can put it on 87 octane and hopefully that will get me much better mpgs.
