You can get 4.10 gears with G56 in 4500-5500 series trucks only.

I hope to see an option for lower gearing for the G56. I am getting terrible fuel mileage with my G56 and that is one reason I got it. Should have done more homework before buying.

Exactly , if you don't, the trans. will think it's half loaded all the time.A buddy of mine puts large tires on every truck he owns, and only gets about 45-50K out of any transmission, think he'd learn by now.
