What about an RCSB 5.3 auto? 3.73, 3.90, or 4.10?
Send me an email. I've got a spreadsheet that calculates speed vs. rear gear vs. tire/wheel size. This has given me an idea as to what I'm goin with on my C10.
My Yukon (5.3L w/ 4L60E) came with 3.42s, and my calcs confirm. My C10 came with 2.73s, but am gonna go with 4.10s. RPMs with the Yukon's 3.42s dial in at 1800 (@ 70mph). At 78mph, it's right at 2000RPM. Having 4.10s in my C10 with the same drivetrain should put me at 2400RPM (@ 70mph). My C10 won't be driven on the daily basis, but maybe on my 50 mile (one-way) commute once or twice (at the most) per week. It'll definitely be my weekend warrior.

It doesn't need gear to stay alive. The 4.8 was all rev.

If you had a 4.10 gear in the 5 speed it would be like having a 5.10 gear in the 4L60E, first gear comparison. I didn't pull those #'s out my ***, those are calculated. I personally thought that the 3.73's were fine with my stock 4.8 and 31.5" tires. Any shorter tire and it would have been way too low of a gear. Now my 3.73's just suck!

Well on mine, i have the 5.3 with the 4l60e and 3.42 and my current tires are 275/60/16 Toyo's.
I am about to be running 265/35/22's though. What would be a good gear for either?
