The best I ever got was a trip to san antonio running around 80mph I got right around 20 with the 3.23s but it was always down shifting on the slightest uphill grade so it was making that 4.8 work plus when I put the 20s on it, it killed it with 3.23s, no my truck is 2wd, but now no matter if its on the highway or around town I average 17 with the 4.10s unless I mash it hard then yes it drinks the gas , around town with 3.23s I averaged about 12

I feel you on the 4.8 drinking gas. Mine was getting 10-13mpg with the 3.23 and 31.6" tall tires. Now I get 15-18 with the 4.10's and 29" tall tires.

I have the good ol heavy LTZ 20's and 3.23's right now, thanks to skeet here on the site I have a very helpful set of 4.56's on the way. I'm very excited to see the changes in towing my Jeep or my heavy Cutlass with the gear swap. It's also getting the tru-trac I have had setting around in the garage all this time!!!
