No SOTP difference, wasnt suprised ( no SOTP diff in the 04'). I am really starting to like the 3.42s now.

.... I guess I should have added "With a Radix". Do you have 100 miles on the truck or the Radix? Or both?
You couldn't find 3.73's because they were not offered in that truck. I was disapointed in this news but for what I like to do I am very happy with them now. I bet the Radix will really wind out nice with them up high.

Well Now. The owner of the truck? Is he\she a forum member? We sure would like to monitor the MPG of this Radix application on an 05. With all the tweaks GM did to squeeze some additional mpg, and it having 4.10's. It may be interesting.
Can you invite them to join the forum? And how many miles are on the truck?

Nelson can tune in house but not mail order for my truck right now. It's a software version thing I believe. He is going to call me just as soon as it is ready.
Murphy's law says it will be ready after I get my Radix and I can't run it untill the warranty period is up. It's off season for selling ATV's right now and I will be asking close to top dollar so it will most likley not sell real fast.
I want somthing righ now and will take what I can get.
