is your stall lose or tight?
you know stock stall speed is like 1800-2000 ... thats a small stall. you can get a yank 3000tt and still get away with heavy towing... and the mud tire you have on there and the 3.73's is like having a standard 29.5'' tire with a low 3.23 or 3.08 gear. i would step it up to a 4.30 atleast
your dealing with a big ole truck here buddy not a z28

I just now saw your lift posted on #19. IF you can find them reasonably priced you'd have .615 .618 with 1.85's. And that's a little bit more than what put BlackGMC where his needed to be with those heads.
But typically you could just do another cam swap for the price. If you do the swap your self and get a used cam for 250-350 dollars it would be cheaper then buying Rockers which are usually around $450.
Ideally you need some gears. If you do mostly city driving they'll likely help your economy a lot. I didn't see if you were 4x4 or 2x4 tho so if your 4x4 that just means you need 2 sets which is more expensive.
My truck stock was getting 15-16mpg on 275/45/20's with 3.42 gears. Adding all the mods in my sig I'm getting 16-17 driving faster than I need to be.

yes only 26lb injectors, was trying to stay away from another cam change as i dont feel like driving down to have it re-tuned again. might just do the dear swaps and call her good for a while, unless a cheap set of rockers comes up on the board, there is a set of 1.8 harland's for cheap right now.
but yeah whats wrong with 26lb injectors, when i had it tuned at synergy he didnt say ne thing about them being too small.
yes it is 4x4 and i do mostly city driving, however my city driving has like no traffic, opposite of what most city driving is.

He won't tell you much unless you ask.Ask me how I know.Any ways I have a set of the crane gold 1.8's that we could deal on if you like.It is the kit that runs like $700.I got a good deal from slp guy.They have dyno time only.The only thing is you have to run their pushrods which are like 7.250 which I like cause less deflection in a shorter rod.Pm me if you are interested.

might quite up the sewing machine, although my valve train is very quite as is. well i did take another person for a ride today and he said the motor feels plenty strong, right where it should be for the mods. still gonna go with gears and probably the rockers.
