Thanks to all!!

I got a quote from the local gear shop. $850 for either 3.73 or 4.10 gears, parts and labor. But, the guy says I need to recalibrate the engine computer, which can be done with a $350 Diablo. So, we're talking $1,150, plus the hassles involved.

I think I'll drive in 3rd for a while, and spend the bucks elsewhere.

I have a 2005 Z71 that has 3.42 gears. So it happens. I was curious though as I was behind my uncle and he was walking away from me at lights with his heavier camper in an older Tahoe LT. Wonder if he's got the 3.73s.


Interesting your Z71 has 3.42 gears.. in 04 you could not do that.. in a Z71 package. unless someone ordered it and then backed out of the deal..
