RE: GEARS???

I have the G56 transmission, and at 70 mph the engine is turning around 2100 rpm.

Or just hit the interstate, if you have 3.73 your rpm's will be right around 2000 at 80 mph, with the 4.10's you will be around 2800 at 80 mph

WTF! are you sure you have 3.73's! I have 3.73's and i'm at 2grand at 65. When they changed 6 speeds did they change the gearing in the transmission itself! I'm running a nv5600. I wish my rpm's were that low! Better mileage I'd probably wouldn't even worry about buying a gear vendor.

I believe since your truck is an 03 it has the NV5600 which is not geared as low as the G56. I also believe that your brother in law's truck has the NV5600 in it 2.

Correct..........I didn't know the G56 was geared that much lower if your are turning 2,800 in 6th gear at 80 mph

opps... sorry frone, if I would have looked at your sig I would have known you had a nv5600 (which I believe did come with the option of 4.10 or 3.73 since it was geared more sililar to that of the autos).I didn't mean to call you a liar

not true man, the the output ratio on the manual is lower than that of the auto's.

, I should have been more specific as too which manual tranny I wasrefering tohere, sorry dude
