What gears do you have now? What size tire? If you currently have 3.42's and are near a stock tire I would put in 4.10's. 3.73 isn't enough of a jump.

Well "whatever" is like 3 different options.

You might wanna check your glove box and find the RPO code for your gears. Factory options were 3.23, 3.42 and 3.73's, so you could have 1 of those 3.

Most 4.8s were either 3.23 or 3.42, usually had to have a tow package or something for the 3.73s with a 4.8!!

Per your RPO code (google the list) you have a GT4, so you already have 3.73's it looks like. But you have no G80, so it's a open diff rear end.

So a new 373 wouldn't make a difference? Do I go 411 then? Not looking to tow at all, just want horsepower. Drive across state a lot.
