if your running 4:88s stock, then you are stuck with them unless you swap in a new pumpkin

Don't think I'd worry bout messing with the rear end when it comes to MPG...Cost of regearing or swapping diffs just isn't worth it just for the mileage.

Wish I was "stuck" with 4.88's

I have 4.88s with a 3.0 with an auto and 32"s.

I will be getting 5.29s and 33s.

I currently get 13MPG.
