I am glad to see someone using the Edelbrock 3702 and 3704. I have been thinking about ordering these parts for my suburban as well. What kind of difference did you see in fuel economy?

great build. i recently purchased a surban an plan on building a rig like that. your rig is a great insiration to me
how did you like those gears you put in? I know they help regular driving, but what about towing? im thinking of regearing myself because my 99 k1500 burb doesnt have the tow/haul button so I usually drop down to 3 and run 55-60 towing..thanks... we enjoyed this truck... Was sold a little over a year ago... new owners are really enjoying it... still being put to the use it was built for!

4.88's were totally awesome offroad. Truck would inch down steep inclines... never used the brakes and had plenty of time to scout my patch with the slow speed. As for towing, I had the Throttle body injection... older than the vortec.. and had a very short torque window. So for me the 4.56's would have been better for towing as I my RPM was always a touch high and dropping a gear just made it wind up... and have no power. With the vortec you may find the same problem as they are overflowing with torque either... but will have more than mine. Towing I would be stuck at 50-55mph when towing... too much effort to try and hit 60mph.
Big thing was regearing.... had to be done with 35's...and was a fantastic mod.... brought the truck to a hole new level over the stock gearing. Just watch that 10 bolt rear end... it's not very strong offroad. I know 2 Burb owners that destroyed the internal gears on the same trail... and not being very hard on it at all.
