How's the mileage and power? I can't seem to find rear 4.88s for my truck on Randy's Ring and Pinion. I want power but I need highway gears too.
I get 12-14 mpg, that's 70% highway and 30% city. I have Yukon 4.88s. At 60mph I'm at exactly 2K rpms in O/D. I've ran the 4.88s in 33s, 35s, and 36s. I like the feel of them with the 35s. 33s were pretty scary.
So the 4.88's ARE available..... apparently, just not from randy...... Might give him a call, and see what he has to say.
Ah gotcha. What do you think I should do? I've been told a million times 4.56s but I want power. This thing is a turd.

Dang I get 9.9-10.3mpg right now, lol. How were the 33s scary? Too much power?
