[QUOTE="Marky Dissod, post: 28584, member: 13218"] It's not an opinion, 4.8L will never have much torque, and you gave up power under 2500RpM for power at higher RpMs. If you find a converter that will maintain low-throttle drivability AND stall at a higher RpM, you're still never getting any MpGs back. From stop sign to stop sign / red light to red light, 4.56 with 33" will not be that bad, on the highway you'll lose MpG. Maybe 4.30. You know your environment. Many GMT800 4.8L Tahoes & Sielvierrados came with 4.10. Swapping an entire axle outright might be less than changing R&P inside the pumpkin, definitely simpler. [/QUOTE]
