My truck is for running around town, and enjoying with my family. It won't see a drag strip. So Im looking for the highest gears that I can run to improve mileage as best as possible.

Im running 3.73s now on a 28" tire. I average about 18mpg. I will be swapping in a LSD soon and would like to look at some 3.23s or possibly even 3.08s.

its a regular carb short bed with a 5.3/4l60e. I believe it weighs around 3300lbs(could be wrong).

What are you running in your "driver"?
