I currently have a 3.73 rear end coupled to my 5.3L in my Silverado. For me this was the comprimise for pulling and fuel efficincy. It gave me a mile or two more per gallon then my counter parts who bought the same package with the 4.10 and, way out performed the one truck I pulled with that had a 3.42 rear end.

Now somethings as I see people discussing this matter.... if you pulling where you are not dealing with many hills etc. The 3.42 rear end, or 3.55 probably is alright. The other factor here is the load your are pulling.... now in my case a 4000# boat, and hills every where I turn, the 3.42, just was going to be a hinderence. The 3.73, gives me what I need. The 4.10 would be optimal, but for the small amount of time I tow, I am not going to go to the 4.10.

Now on to what started this thread.... a 3.08 gear is just a joke... this is only going to be good for someone that is interested in a daily commuter.....

On another note, something else the dealer mentioned to me, as a beware item... apearently he was selling a Tahoe or Suburban I can;t remember which, and in 2010, they don't give you 4 WD low..... it was there in 2009.....

Buyers beware......
