If it is a stick shift it can only be 3.73 if it is an auto it can be either 3.73 or 4.10.

From what I have been told, the G56 6spd has a very low gearing, and that is why it is only put with the 3.73's. I guess the G56 with 3.73's would be about the same as the 4spd auto with 4.10's.

..........and yes, pulling stumps is just one of my hobbies

in 05 when the G56 manual was installed 4.10's being installed with a manual went away due to the gearing. now, some 05's did have the NV5600 installed and 4.10's were an option. I know thins cause my 04.5 w/6spd has 4.10 stump pullers installed.

the auto's can have either 3.73's or 4.10's. if you have 4.10's it will tell you on the build sheet. if not you have 3.73's.

and Don. . .yes you can pull stumps straight out of the ground

The joy that comes from a good stump-pullin' ... a hobby so few can really appriciate. Brings a tear to my eye.
