1HOT,
I asked ZX this a while back when this was discussed. More than likely if you have 3:73's. It is the most common gear!
ZX said it would not be cost efficient to put in 4:10's! He basically said buy a newtahoe with 4:10's in it from the factory!

Not sure what the $5k on wheels comment means. However I think the point of the Sarcastic comment of buying a new tahoe was it wasnt very effiicent to put the 4:10s in after the fact.

RE: 07 Tahoe Axle Ratio Options
It wan't meant to imply anything (I bought new wheels also). All I was saying is that new gears only cost $500 in a 2wd probably $1200 in a 4wd because the IFS. How would it be more cost efficient to buy a new Tahoe? If he has 3.73 gears the cost savings in fuel might not justify $500, but "WE" spend alot more than $500 without even thinking about it. I have $2k in my Hemi just in the motor.
Me personally, I have 3.42 gears and with my new wheels and reading some of Dave's posts about the 4.10 gears, I can easily say that will be my next upgrade.
Merry Christmas.

addkev,
No harm taken! If you do the 4:10 upgrade please let me know what it ends up costing you! If it isnt to much I may also make the same upgrade! Thanks and please let us know when you complete the upgrade.

RE: 07 Tahoe Axle Ratio Options
When configuring a Tahoe online I do not see the option for the 4.10, only the 3.42 and 3.73 for $100 more. Is this something the dealer has in their system or did I configure wrong?
