Me too. I would love 4.56s but I think they would be a little ridiculous if I ever drop back down to stock-size tires.

I take it you meant MPG, not MPH. Did you recalibrate the PCM, for the gear swap? If not, it will appear that you are getting better mileage than you really are.

Just an update to the gear swap I downloaded the 87 octane tune into the truck and had the boys from diablo modify it for the gear swap to get my speedo reading correctly. I downloaded that tune into the truck and man does it work great. The speedo in dead nuts on by the gps and the truck will actually sqwauk the tires shifting into second gear something it has never done before So far Im very happy and impressed with the gear swap Will probably be hooking the trailer onto it this weekend to see how it performs towing. Will update after I do
