Re: 3.42-3.73 gear swap?

I had wondered about the shift points.....the old school stuff , always messed with the shift points ,running lower gears. Tiss my 1st rodeo on the 3rd gen , I love my 02 silverado(4.8), & that is what the diff swap is about. I have a 5.3 to roll in my old 69 longhorn/backed with a Richmond 6 spd box, & 3.42 gears. She will be goin "rock stock", with a little tune.....maybe add the cam upgrade& valve springs, next season. The old 383 has showed me all she has.....but fuel mileage was not in the picture. crazyL
