double overdrive
i was brainstorming the other day tryin to figure out how i could get alittle better gas mileage from my ol tahoe. 01 4wd, 5.3, 3.73, and 33" tires. right now it has a programmer, borla straight through muffler, and a k&n intake. im getting about 15 mpg. well 13 to 15 when i drive it and 15 to 16 when my wife drives it. one of my ideas was to change the gears to 5.13 and pick up one of those gear vendors over underdrive units. that would give me a .50 over drive for the highway and those steep gears should help out around town. any body ever see anything like this done before? i think i should be able to get at least 5 extra mpg outta the thing at a minimum.
