What rear axle ratio's are you running

Good morning Gentlemen,

As my build is now approaching the physical rather than the esoteric, my shopping list for upgrades is becoming more defined.

So, today's series of question:-

What axle ratio are you running and what is the rest of the drive line?

Mileage?

Are you happy with your choice?

Eventually I will run a LM7, TKO 600 (road/race gearing) and a 265/65/15 tyre/tire.

My initial thoughts were to copy the Tahoe gearing (3.42-3.73- 4.11) but get conflicting reports and, as I wont be towing a 3000lb ski boat, a lot of it is irrelevant.

I will be using the truck as a DD but also for track days/autocross events.

Previous experience with a DNE 4+1 saw me use a 3.25 with 29" tyres. With a BBC I got over 18mpg and ran a very low 12second quarter.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments.

P.
